I understand that if one is issued then a battle royal will ensue. Perhaps Calvin could shed further light on this issue.

I say this with tongue very much in cheek. Is it good strategy to reveal 'your' tactics to the en e me? I mean 'your' not Public Citizen, but shouldn't you let a surprise or two be sprung on the adversary?

If the information is worth having, any battle and any casualties are worth the goal. If not, then one may want to consider carefully just how much one will pay for nothing.
That is for the "en e me" to decide. The fact that we ceded the field of battle on this issue left a clear message: "auctung minen"...and now they must find a way through or around the minefield.
It will be worth watching how an intimidation move comes back to haunt them. If I were they, I would find another way to get the information I want or come up with another intimindation tactic, such as simply filing John Doe and Jane Doe cases to get the information...so much more intimidating, although fraught with certain risks.
