Information Most Free Is Most True

I like what the Obama campaign has done with its Fight The Smears website. This is an attempt to correct the distorted information generated through largely deliberate rumor mills by facing rumors head on, and offering a source of validation for the facts underlying the falsities.
I have long thought that it was only a matter of time before the infrastructure afforded by the Web came to the rescue of a situation it helped to precipitate, albeit innocently, by exploding information access.
