The White House corrected an early mistake and issued a narrower and much improved executive order curbing visas from terrorist hotbeds. The order itself is better, the process of making it was better and the rollout of the order was far better.

Now we hope the Departments of State, Justice and Homeland Security get busy crafting a new vetting process for refugees and other visitors from places where terrorism thrives, so that they can move beyond this blunt, temporary order.
