Five Borough Defense

The federal gag order that silenced Public Defender blogs over the Summer has now been lifted, according to government sources.  “The months of silence was a regrettable necessity,” said one such source, emphasizing that his - or her - anonymity was a matter of the nationalest of national security.  The unerring, quasi-journalistic, sort of snarky commentary which dares to take a peak under the robe at the palsied, varicose legs of justice - it was just too much.  For government sources.  But it could only go on so long.  Long enough for a vacation to Vietnam, say, where blog writers could lay on the beach for a while and recharge.  Thank god that’s over.  Thank god we can all get back to this.  Where would we be without this?
