We will soon know the identity of a Connecticut library group that was secretly ordered under the USA Patriot Act to turn over its patrons' records. The U.S. Department of Justice has abandoned its fight to prevent the group from publicly identifying itself.
The American Civil Liberites Union, which represents the library group, said the librarians would identify themselves at a news conference once the court completed the formalities. That should happen in several weeks. It has been speculated that the group in question is Library Connection Inc., of Windsor.
