CATO is more progressive than Center for American Progress on PBS Yesterday


Lawrence Korb ignores the decimation of FEMA under Bush and urges military disaster government.

NewsHour with Jim Lehrer had two think-tank guests discuss Bush's call to place the military in charge of disaster response.

Libertarian CATO's Gene Healy actually advocates the liberal position of keeping standing armies away from keeping the peace domestically.

Lawrence Korb, former assistant secretary of defense for manpower and personnel during the Reagan administration, represented the liberal Center for American Progress and supported Bush.

So the big question, why did the Center for American Progress send a Republican to a high profile interview and have him support what Bush is advocating?
