It looks like October will be a bad month for those of us hoping for a little more government transparency in the War on Terror. As Billy Corriher of this blog has already noted, in the context of the secret OLC memo justifying the assassination of Anwar al-Aulaqi, that it would be unfair to criticize the OLC without having actually seen its legal reasoning. However, it is also worth nothing that this month has also seen two important developments in how we might get to (or not get to) see what the government is actually doing.

With any protest, particularly one of this size and duration (an impressive 9 days as of Monday, September 26th), there are bound to be conflicts with law enforcement. For Occupy Wall Street, it occurred last Saturday, the 24th, as protestors attempted to march up to Union Square. By the end of the day, over 80 protestors were arrested, mostly for disorderly conduct and resisting law enforcement. Protestors alleged, in many cases, police abuse, and this time, they had plenty of videos.
