Sounds like someone wants to limit free speech. Scary when you know that Hartgen used to be a publisher in Twin Falls. Newspapers generally require real names in print and monitor very carefully the content that goes on their sites, even in cases where real names aren't required. That's the way it should be. But that's the nature of the newspaper business. Sure, we all want to know who says what on those many blogs. But to require it by Idaho law? Give me a break. What next, Rep. Hartgen?/Vicki Holbrook, From The Editors. More here.
