Civil Rights Documents Purged from Government Site

As of 7 January 2005, the website of the US Commission on Civil Rights has been purged of 20 reports that didn’t meet the approval of the agency’s Republican majority. The site says that you may still order copies of these reports, but, tellingly, they require that you give them a physical mailing address. In other words, they’ll send you a paper copy of a report, not an easily-postable electronic copy.
