MEGAN MCARDLE ON SILENCING THE CRITICS: “Wondering if we can’t prosecute the person who exposed the campaign’s error smacks of police state tactics. Yes, I still support Obama, and I have no reason to think that the error was deliberate. But that doesn’t mean that I think the Obama team has a right to have its errors protected from public exposure. . . . If it had been a corporation rather than a campaign whose shoddy protections were thus exposed, would Kleiman really be urging us to pursue a fraud claim?” This unfortunate instinct to prosecute critics is one of the things that has most troubled me about the Obama movement.
