To Massachusetts police, Sean Bucci was just a pot dealer busted after a buddy exposed his illegal business. But he's become the centerpiece of a Justice Department effort to pull criminal case information off the Internet. The controversy stems from a Web site Bucci founded in 2004, shortly after he was charged, to publish the names of informants like his friend. Now the DOJ is pushing back, urging judges to limit electronic access to court filings, particularly those dealing with cooperators.
