Another nail in the IRS scandal’s coffin - Salon.com
From the NY Times, via Salon, on J Weisman's bylined article:
"Today, Weisman reports that plenty of groups that had nothing to do with left-right politics, like a Palestinian-rights organization and open source technology groups, made it onto target lists and received “a series of questions and requests almost identical to the ones it was sending to Tea Party groups at the time:”' (Emphasis added.)

The article bears reading. We tend to forget the storied anti-trust narrative and trials that gave Lessig brilliance and dimmed only slightly Microsoft. That's a mistake. It's also an error to assume that just because the conditions have changed and that "we" are moving away from the desktop, where the dinosaurs of computing reigned, that Microsoft and other equivalent companies, like Oracle, are less relevant and thus less powerful. They are not.
