Once more down the rabbit hole

A Philadelphia Daily News columnist does a good job of summarizing the number of ways in which up is down for the Bush Administration when it comes to national security...
• They cut 40 percent of the money for security in New York City, a proven terror target, and gave it to states like Indiana and Wyoming that just happen to vote Republican and have such potential "targets" as Amish dairy farms and ice-cream stands.

• They knew that terrorists in Britain had a plot to use liquid explosives, yet tried to take millions of dollars from a program developing new explosive detection technology meant for that kind of threat.
Hard to pick just a couple out of such a wealth of perversity...

Just about everything they have done was like this. If it makes sense, they didn't do it.

So much material for the democratic candidates to use.
