Pentagon Censors Gov't Openness Videotape By TED BRIDIS, AP Wire
Parts of the training video, 'The People's Right to Know' were blacked out and replaced with the message, 'copyrighted material removed for public viewing.' Defense Department officials said they did so because they worried the government did not have legal rights to some historical footage that was included.
Citing the Freedom of Information Act, The Associated Press asked the Pentagon for a copy of the video nearly 18 months ago. The department released an edited version of the tape and acknowledged the irony of censoring a video promoting government openness.
