"I completely agree with the substance of what Krugman had to say in his post.

I also completely deplore his choice of posting his piece on the ten-year anniversary of the attacks.

"Today, the conservative blogosphere is going crazy condemning Krugman's article—and I don't blame them one bit. Indeed, the only thing I do not understand is why more progressives are not joining in that condemnation, as Krugman's piece only serves to set back the principles and causes of liberals and progressives everywhere. By forgetting what is important about yesterday's commemorations, Krugman has played right into the hands of those who would use such a reaction to tar the true intent of liberal commentators and, by extention, every other progressive in the country."

not so sure about that assessment....at least Krugman got some people's attention. What do you think, fellow DUers?
