Paul Krugman Nails It

How we wish there were more people like Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman, who writes with simple eloquence on his New York Times blog, "Conscience of a Liberal":

"The Bush Administration was obviously -- yes, obviously -- telling tall tales in order to promote the war it wanted: the constant insinuations of an Iraq-9/11 link, the hyping of discredited claims of a nuclear program, etc. And, the question was, should you stand up against that? Not many did, and those who did were treated as if they were crazy."

Thousands of lives lost and people maimed. Osama bin Laden still at large, because for Preznit Chimpy and his sinister vice president, hunting him down wasn't "a priority." And they tortured in the attempt to get false confessions about an Iraq-al Qaeda link.
