[EL] Wisconsin John Doe decision

[Bill Maurer]

So, the targets of this investigation are at fault because they "leaked" information to the WSJ?  

But I thought "sunlight" was the best "disinfectant."  

I would think that "sunlight" of what appears to be a politically-motivated use of law enforcement in secret proceedings is exactly the kind of thing that should be given public scrutiny or else the people will lose confidence in the political process and believe that the government is not working in their best interest but in the best interest of unidentified entities with political pull.  But I guess that principle only applies to $25 donations to initiative campaigns and not police raiding someone's house in the middle of the night because they supported the wrong candidate.  Apparently, that can and should remain absolutely secret.  

Does anyone have a list of when sunlight is and is not the best disinfectant?  I mean, besides medicine and cleaning and pretty much any other time one might be tempted to use sunlight to disinfect anything.

For a moment I thought this outrage was aimed at those who set out to circumvent ( the Judge's word)  WI campaign finance law  by coordinating advertising with a candidate for public office while seeking to avoid contribution limits, and then leaked secret information about a law enforcement investigation in an attempt to circumvent that too. But I guess not....
