New York Opinion

Herbert: The Wrong War
The Bush administration never pursued Al Qaeda with the focus, tenacity and resources it continues to expend on Iraq.

Davis: Jefferson, Madison, Newdow?
Michael Newdow’s crusade to rid the pledge of Allegiance of the words "under God" is a peculiarly American act of courage.

Krugman: The Medicare Muddle
Privatizers use scary numbers about future medical costs to panic us into abandoning a retirement program that’s actually in pretty good shape.

Dowd: Truth as a Weapon
Terror? That was so Clintonesque.

All excellent.
