Krugman On The Foreign Policy Establishment

6:34 pm EST September 14th, 2007 | News | 1 Comment

In a reader feedback segment on the Times site, Paul Krugman hits the nail on the head:

Barbara Hardie, Syla, N.C.: How hard it is to be Cassandra! I always appreciate your insightful honesty.

Paul Krugman: It was pretty hard back in 2002-3. Not so bad now. Although it’s still true that in D.C. you’re not considered sound and serious about national security unless you were wrong about Iraq.

Ain’t that a bitch?
