Guardian: Tens of thousands of emails to and from Sarah Palin during her time as Alaska governor are to be released within the next week after more than two years of obstruction and delay. Requests for the emails, under the Freedom of Information Act, would normally take about a fortnight. But Palin, when she was governor, and her successor and fellow Republican Sean Parnell sought repeatedly to delay the release, initially saying it was too expensive, that the sheer volume would make for a time-consuming exercise and, finally, on legal grounds.
