Wikileaks document release: Censored book, "Smith County Justice" Sat Jan 26 08:53:56 GMT 2008 http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Smith_County_Justice The archive contains a new electronic (pdf) edition of the suppressed book "Smith County Justice" by investigative journalist David Ellsworth (1985). This book, which exposes corruption in the criminal legal system of Smith County, Texas, USA, was withdrawn by the publisher and removed from all bookstores shortly after publication due to pressure from the authorities exposed in the book. Since then, there has been a concerted effort to suppress this story, resulting in used editions of the book becoming rare and expensive (currently $500 on amazon.com). It is hoped that the availablity of this electronic edition will make that suppression more difficult.
