Foxes guarding the henhouse

Matt Yglesias asks the obvious question in response to the GOP gloat that "anything that makes people nervous ... helps Bush":

Are people who think this way likely to improve, or degrade the personal safety of the American people? It's a question that, I think, answers itself.


Think about it....do you want to trust with YOUR safety an administration who allows the perpetrator of the terrorist attacks of September 11 go free, then on the eve of the election is THRILLED to see a new videotape of that person looking tanned, rested, and ready, because it "helps Bush"?

I don't even have to go all tinfoil and make dark allegations of the Bush Administration being in cahoots with Bin Laden. They don't have to be; all they have to do is make sure they never catch him; it's the only way they can keep Americans frightened enough to fall into line so they placidly accept their agenda.

Are you going to allow them to succeed? Do you really want to let them jerk your fear-chain another four years?
