[Web4lib] Google vs Bush Administration - Commentary

[Karen Coyle]

The most frightening/disappointing news is that Google's resistence has 
caused their stock value to drop. So it is giving in to government

>"The Bush administration on Wednesday asked a federal judge to order Google to turn over a broad range of material from its closely guarded databases.
