[MOD.Note:  Joe moderated a very interesting session about Privacy at
the just-concluded Charleston Conference.  Helen Cullyer's and Todd
Carpenter's talks well worth a visit if/when posted on the Conference
web site. Privacy is a tricky thing.]

Slashdot is reporting on a case in Washington State about nude
dancers, whose identities are being sought under a FOIA request. This
government open-records request is being made by a man who wants to
obtain information about 70 licensed strippers in his town so he can
'pray for them.'   In Washington the dancers are licensed.  Do they
have a right to keep their identities a secret?  The story is both
funny and disturbing at the same time.
