Federal Court Vacates Prior Restraint Order Against LA Times, But Blasts Press In Attempt To Justify It

It's good that Judge Walter vacated his order. But it's unacceptable that he issued it in the first place, and unbecoming and regrettable that he blasted the press for printing important information about a federal case. A dirty cop cooperating against gangs is news. They were right to publish. He was wrong to issue the order, and wrong to try to justify it.
