Josh Wolf
I was impressed when reading one of Josh Wolf's recent blogs concerning his offer to allow Judge Alsop to review the San Francisco Protest video in-camera. His offer to do so, would seem an appropraiate solution had the intent of officers been as they indicated. Because this solution was not acceptable to them, one would have to assume that Josh's concerns as to how the information derived would be used, was well founded. I applaud his steadfast determination to deter it's abuse. Bravo Josh!
