Krugman: Wag-the-Dog Protection

The New York Times > Opinion > Op-Ed Columnist: Wag-the-Dog Protection:

"So it's important to point out that Mr. Bush, for all his posturing, has done a very bad job of protecting the nation - and to make that point now, rather than in the heat of the next foreign crisis. The fact is that Mr. Bush, while willing to go to war on weak evidence, hasn't taken the task of protecting America from terrorists at all seriously."
