US Government officials censor the public record

Submitted by rernst on Fri, 01/27/2006 - 3:31pm

Currently there's an interesting edit war on at wikipedia about a US Congressman named Marty Meehan, whose staff apparently have edited his biography on wikipedia to remove text regarding a promise he made to serve no more than 4 terms. The Lowell Sun article I've linked to moved very quickly in reporting on the situation - I'm amazed, and very proud. Tomorrow, this will be all around the net, and text indicating that Mr Meehan promised to serve no more than four terms in office will be as well. Mr Meehan, you should probably fire everyone responsible for this, as they've messed up big time.
