It may sound stupid but the folks taking care of our basics (teachers, firement, plumbers, librarians, archivists) may be the ones who take the Fascists down.
Perhaps a forwarding of the article, along with a thoughtful commentary, to our elected officials (Tom, Jeff, and Pete) suggesting that perhaps the new LLC is overstepping its bounds and possibly trying to obfuscate their own incompetencies in the process, would be in order. Just a thought.
"The new manager is trying to create a policy that protects the lab as best as they can and that still allows access to archival material," said Kevin Roark of the lab's communications office. "The notion that FOIA is something to block information is something we disagree with."
In November the laboratory restricted public access to a Heritage series that had previously been open to the public. Former LANL director Harold Agnew's talk was classified at the last minute and accessible only to badge holders. An "unclassified version" was made available six months later, but apparently nothing was edited out of the video.

Let's see if the Archivists can rise up like the Librarians did.

Steven Bechtel should be afraid, very afraid.

This is totally unacceptable. The unclassified records of this laboratory are the property of the people of the United States.
For this heinous private corporation to hold these records hostage is absurd.

Better start getting use to it:
Los Alamos Monitor - LAB NOTES May 4, 2007

Roark said the talk was classified "to be safe."
