Why are Librarians acting so weird?
Rich Lowry:
"...A June meeting of the ALA provided an important clue of the organization's real priorities. It declined to pass a resolution -- even a tepid one -- supporting 14 jailed independent librarians in Cuba. These true martyrs to the free circulation of reading material held little interest for the ALA, since they are anti-Castro instead of anti-Ashcroft. Some ALA members even questioned whether the 14 are 'true' librarians. Good point -- how can they be, unless their top priority is bashing the Bush administration?"
