Dear TOL,

I wanted to hear from a government representative on the case you just discussed. If the ACLU lawyer makes claimes about what the government will or will not confirm, or do, or reveal, that is just her claim. Did you attempt to get anyone from the Justice Department or the FBI to comment? Even  if they all they said was that they could "neither confirm or deny" anything, at least it would be them saying. it.  Getting a comment from both sides is standard operating procedure in reporting... the ACLU rep keeps saying (she is doing it now as I type) what "the government" is and is not doing....let's hear from them.
