Judges Respond to Site Outing Informants

From the Washington Post:

In response to a Web site that outs criminal informants and undercover agents, some U.S. judges are withholding certain court documents from the Internet.

Federal judges in eastern Pennsylvania and southern Florida are keeping plea and sentencing memos out of online case files because of concerns that the information is being posted on a Web site called WhosARat.com.

The documents still will be available in person at the federal courthouse.
