The Man Without a File: Mel Gibson anti-semitic remarks hidden in "supplemental" file

Here is a story out today about how the L.A. police tried to keep secret some details about Mel Gibson's drunken arrest, including his anti-semitic remarks. According to an agency investigation, police snuck the remarks and other negative facts about Gibson in a "supplemental" report that was not made public. It only came to light when someone leaked the report to TMZ. This is an increasingly used technique to hide facts from the public, including facts embarrasing to the police -- put them in a separate file and don't tell anyone it even exists. See Associated Press story.
