Chron/Hearst sue Gov. Perry over clemency report

CHRON REPORTER R.G. RATCLIFFE, apparently charged with the task of turning a press release into a news story, writes that the Chron/Hearst will be suing Gov. Rick Perry to try to obtain a legal report given the governor before he denied clemency to Cameron Tood Willingham.

As a matter of law, Perry may well prevail. However, Perry could surely release the report as a matter of policy. He should.
