When Siobhan
Reynolds thinks a doctor has been unfairly targeted
for prosecution based on his narcotic prescriptions, she tries
to counter the official narrative by highlighting the patients he
has helped and dramatizing the conflict between drug control and
pain control. By portraying Reynolds' advocacy as obstruction of
justice, Senior Editor Jacob Sullum argues, a
federal prosecutor threatens the freedom of anyone who dares
to suggest there is more than one side to a criminal case.
