Someone should call the Customer Service desk of the Washington Post, since it seems that Andrew Sullivan didn't get his copy this morning. In a post titled "The Real McCarthyites", he says:
I have yet to see a single example of government censorship in this country since 9/11. (The worrying exception is the way in which the Secret Service seems to be quarantining legitimate demonstrations against the president. But this blog - and many others written by non-lefties - have been foremost in complaining about that). So where are the real blacklists, the real attempts to police thought, censor opposing views and ruthlessly promoote people on the basis of ideology, not merit?
Of course, had Sullivan read this morning's Post, he would have seen that "a senior administration official" says that the outing of Plame was "meant purely and simply for revenge,". Sounds like an attempt to punish a vocal critic to me.
