Exploiting the Atrocity

The latest essay from the NY Times' Paul Krugman via Eschaton:

It may be harder for the administration to wrap itself in the flag, but it has more incentive to do so now than ever before. Where once the administration was motivated by greed, now it's driven by fear.

That's a pretty creepy thought, indeed. Click here.
