Krugman has some advice for Greenspan

NYTimes -- He Waffled

In addition to scolding Greenspan for waffling on what a disaster this administration is fiscally, he has a terrific digression of Powell which I'll quote.

A digression: The U.S. media are soft-pedaling it as usual, but the business of the Osama tape has destroyed Mr. Powell's credibility in much of the world. The tape calls Saddam Hussein an "infidel" whose "jurisdiction . . . has fallen," but says that it's still OK to fight the "Crusaders" — and Mr. Powell claims that it ties Saddam to Al Qaeda. Huh? All it shows is that Al Qaeda views a U.S. invasion of Iraq as an excellent recruiting opportunity.

Absolutely, Powell has gone to the Dark Side, use the Force Luke.
