Who's a Rat?

Interesting article in the Times this morning about a website that's getting some more notoriety lately....Whosarat.com is a website devoted to publicizing people who have become 'confidential' government informants.

With my on-again-off-again fascination with the mafia, especially the bio of noted rat hater and Las Vegas Mayor, Oscar B. Goodman, the article caught my eye.

The site relies on sunshine laws to get its information, but there's a move on by law enforcement to limit this somehow as it could have a chilling effect.

That damned first amendmant, huh?
