CLUCK withdraws offer to provide correspondence with public official

In an abrupt change, the Sarasota CLUCK blogsite withdrew an offer to provide copies of two exchanges of correspondence with the Chair of the City Planning Commission. Yesterday the offers were prominent parts of a posting critical of a Sarasota Herald-Tribune editorial, but as of this morning they are marked with asterisks and an explanation stating that the messages are attorney privileged and confidential information. In light of this unambiguous warning from an attorney's office, CLUCK has withdrawn the offer until the matter can be clarified.

Below is the text as it appears in the email, although one has to wonder if printing it is also a violation.
