Two days before a key City Council vote on the way claims of Chicago Police misconduct are investigated, the Daley administration quietly provided aldermen Tuesday with a controversial list of 662 officers with 10 or more complaints against them over the past five years.

But there was a catch: the names on the list -- which the administration has been fighting in federal court to keep secret -- were blacked out.

  1. There is something to be said for "due process." These allegations are being treated as convictions. Also, consider the source for many of these allegations.

  2. Every citizen brought up on charges is under allegation, not conviction. And consider the source for many of those. But their names are public record. That doesn't take away their due process. Why should "The Only Ones" get a pass?
