The Nation : ACLU to Get Porno Data

The Justice Department agreed to let the American Civil Liberties Union see documents of the Attorney General’s Commission on Pornography and the ACLU agreed to drop a federal suit to block all meetings and business of the commission. The Justice Department said it was releasing the documents “because the possibility of litigation was distracting from the importance of the commission’s real work,” which is writing its report on pornography. The ACLU filed the suit after the commission denied the group access to documents routinely provided before.
