Judge Orders Shutdown Of Website On 9-1-1 Mistakes

CBS TV Chicago reports:
(CBS) CHICAGO A judge has ordered the shutdown of a Web site reporting on 9-1-1 mistakes, arguing that it might be a threat to the security of the city.

As CBS 2’s Holly Gregory reports, the Web site, 911mistakes.com, was created by an attorney for the Rev. Dwayne Funches and his wife Emily, who lost three children and a godson at a Sept. 24, 2004 fire at their Austin neighborhood home.

The attorney, Daniel Biederman, says he posted the information so all Chicagoans know they are vulnerable in the event of an emergency, from what he calls “deplorable mismanagement and gross understaffing” at the city 9-1-1 center.

But attorneys for the city say the Web site is a threat to national security, and that someone wanting to harm the city will have too much information.
This is quite amazing.Chicago is "worried" about national security when prominent members of Chicago's organized crime family work for the city of Chicago.
