Flag@

Someone recently asserted to me that the short-lived e-mail address flag@whitehouse.gov was a means of collecting information on people, not topics.  I couldn’t find the information quickly enough to address this, so I just want to put some relevant links here for quick and easy access if it should come up again.

This from ABC News.   From Washington Monthly, this post on Aug. 5, and more significantly, I think, this one from Aug. 18.  Also, there’s this from Politico, which unsurprisingly uses a more objective-sounding style than Steve Benen at Washington Monthly but, also unsurprisingly, gives proportionately more attention to John Cornyn than does ABC.
