Law Firm Wants Peek at the Peekers

The SEC  has not disclosed the names of the dozens of its supervisors, employees and contractors who spent most of their working days looking at pornography on their government computers.

Now a law firm has filed a lawsuit to get a peek. The Washington Times reports:

The Securities and Exchange Commission is facing a federal lawsuit for keeping secret the names of dozens of its supervisors, employees and contractors who spent their workdays looking at pornography on their government computers.


The lawsuit, filed Friday by a Denver- and Washington-based law firm, accuses the SEC of violating federal open-records law by shielding the identities of more than two dozen current and past porn-snooping workers.
"There simply is no privacy right or interest to search pornography on SEC computers, particularly during work hours," says the 17-page complaint, filed in federal court in Denver.
