“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Please don't be a sign of things to come

It was refreshing not to hear about new insurgent attacks in Iraq every day. One would hope that quiet months would blend together to form a more peaceful Iraq. So when I read today that insurgents mounted an orchestrated assault on the Abu Ghraib prison, I couldn't help but wonder if this lull was just an opportunity to train.

I've no expertise in the Middle East. I guess we will know if more of these attacks take place in the future.
