Take it back! Take it back!

The hardest part of having a secret revealed is tracking down everyone that heard it and forcing them to forget it. From a story titled Breathtaking Abuse of the Constitution a confrontation between the Phoenix New Times and one Sheriff Arpaio (in which the Sheriff's home address appeared in an PNT op-ed story) has degenerated to a subpoena asking for, among other things, the domain name and IP address of anyone that accesses the Phoenix New Times website since 2004.

Early on the story says "It is, we fear, the authorities' belief that what you are about to read here is against the law to publish" and indeed the authors spent a night in jail for writing it, so you know it's worth a read.
