A Librarian Free-Speech Protest against the Provisions of the U.S. Patriot Act

Prior to the United States Administration expressions of frustration and outrage over the refusal by librarians to cooperate with unethical and foolish information fishing expeditions (and other attempts to stifle free speech) by various agencies, it's doubtful that anyone would have used the term "Radical Militant Librarian", but as soon as it was uttered, it became a badge of honor.

Of course, there is no official Guild of Radical Militant Librarians. Of course not. And if there was, they wouldn't be forthcoming with any information in any event.

The Latin motto translates as "We know what you read, and we're not saying."

And, of course, what better headgear for a Radical Militant Librarian than a beret?
