Update: List of "Disappeared" Info Growing
A couple days ago we asked for readers to send us examples where the administration "disappeared" previously available government information -- scientific studies, monthly reports, photographs -- that did not square with its agenda.
There's no shortage, apparently. We've got 16 examples so far, and more to come. Some recent additions:
* In 2004, the FBI attempted to retroactively classify public information regarding the case of bureau whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, including a series of letters between the Justice Department and several senators.* In October 2003, the Bush administration banned photographs depicting servicemembers' coffins returning from overseas.
* In December 2002, the administration curtailed funding to the Mass-Layoffs Statistics program, which released monthly data on the number and size of layoffs by U.S. companies. His father attempted to kill the same program in 1992, but Clinton revived it when he assumed the presidency.
Check the full list here. What are we missing?

The other three money supply measures will continue to be provided in detail. On March 7th, 2006, Congressman Ron Paul introduced H.R. 4892 in an effort to reverse this change.
