[Peace-discuss] Krugman's column

[C. G. Estabrook]

[I sent the following to the NYT, for their edification.  --CGE]


How can Paul Krugman discuss the "Climate of Hate" (op-ed, Jan. 9, 2011) with 
reference to the awful crime in Arizona - without mentioning that Mr. Obama is 
conducting a vicious foreign war? Or that he signed this week a law that 
betrayed his promise to close Guantanamo?

For an account of what the latter action means, see David Hicks' memoir, 
"Guantanamo, My Journey."
