The Smoking Gun "Twice a
week, editors William Bastone and Daniel Green upload facsimiles of primary
doucments they've obtained 'from government and law enforcement sources, via
Freedom of Information requests, and from court files nationwide.' The
Smoking Gun has the potential to grow into a tremendously valuable resource.
Its power lies in making visible the invisible by exposing the banal,
bureaucratic, warmed-over cabbage that makes things run. An example of this
'zine at its best came las April when The Smoking Gun published a 1963 FBI
summary of the agency's file on Jackie Robinson. [Tom Dowe, "Web.Politics,"
In These Times, October 19, 1997, p. 25]. |
