(12 Apr) The ACLU yesterday announced that the government has dropped
its legal challenge over a gag order to prevent Connecticut librarians
from speaking out against the controversial National Security Letter
provision of the PATRIOT Act. "Once the necessary court procedures are
complete -- which may take several weeks -- the ACLU said it will hold a
news conference to introduce the librarians to the public and give them
a chance to finally be heard."
