'Leaked' Sinclair CC 'Memo' Explains Terrorism Concerns Behind Sign Ban
Intrepid investigative blogger "Ken" of the Popehat blog gets into the spirit of Woodward and Bernstein with his posting of a really super authentic memo that is really, actually from Sinclair Community College President Steven L. Johnson. The memo explains why President Johnson might have claimed that the college's ban on signs at protests is related to an effort to crack down on domestic terrorism. Watch out Julian Assange and Wikileaks, Ken is coming to take your jobs!
