“Names are probably OK, but email addresses, phone numbers, residential addresses and any other personal information should and could be reasonably withheld.”
The time has come for people to take responsibility for their actions. Sarah asked for no personal redactions, there is no reason the twits who wrote those e-mails to her should ask for redactions either. So be it if they and their families have to suffer the same pain they have caused Sarah and her family.

I can see the concern of the emailers -- I wouldn't like it if some email I sent to one of my elected representatives was published for media scrutiny with all my contact info. Though truth is, people can find out that info if they want on me -- or pretty much any other American -- via the internet if they take the trouble.
Had Palin done the senders the courtesy of redacting info from the emails, the MSM would be on full-volume siren. They'd factually point out that Palin redacted info from virtually every email (how very suspicious!) ... and fail to report further that in EVERY SINGLE CASE, the info redacted was contact info and ONLY contact info. The same kinds of folks who claim "Palin quit! She's a quitter!" would then say, "Palin made redactions on every single email! That's a fact!" And trying to explain the error in their conclusion would be like trying to teach an ape how to play Scrabble. ("Poor bastard ... he's spelled 'library' with an 'e' again." -- hat tip to Douglas Adams)
Maybe Palin is about as dumb as a fox.
