Another side of this issue is that the General Accounting
Office did a report to follow up on the infamous Roth hearings
that ventilated citizen tales of IRS abuses.  GAO found that
none of the anti-IRS charges held water.  GAO was prevented
from releasing the report, purportedly on the grounds of
citizen confidentiality.  A copy leaked out anyway and
it turns out there was little or no confidentiality issue --
any personal stuff was blacked out and there wasn't much
of it.
