The Federal Bureau of Investigations has conceded another legal victory to a group of Connecticut libraries, thereby ending the case entirely, RAW STORY has learned.

The Librarians, members of Library Connection, a not-for profit cooperative organization for resource sharing across 26 Connecticut library branches sharing a centralized computer, were served with a National Security Letter (NSL) in August of last year as part of the FBI's attempt to obtain access to patron's records.

The letter, acquired by RAW STORY, can be read here.

However I fear short lived, this administration seems to get away with murder and always finds a way of working around everything to get thier way. :-(

was raining.
