KRUGMAN LIES
By Michelle Malkin · June 15, 2004 06:39 AM
In today's column, Paul Krugman of the New York Times argues that John
Ashcroft is the worst attorney general in U.S. history. He states:
First, there's the absence of any major successful prosecutions. The one
set of convictions that seemed fairly significant - that of the
"Detroit 3"
- appears to be collapsing over accusations of prosecutorial misconduct.
This echoes a similar allegation in a May 11 column, where Krugman
wrote:
After two and a half years, during which he arrested and secretly
detained
more than a thousand people, Mr. Ashcroft has yet to convict any actual
terrorists.
Oh? What about shoebomber Richard Reid? What about Taliban solider John
Walker Lindh? What about Yahya Goba, Shafal Mosed, Yasein Taher, Taysal
Galab, Mukhtar al-Bakri and Sahim Alwan of Lackawanna, New York? What
about
Jeffrey Battle, Patrice Ford, Ahmed Bilal, Muhammad Bilal, and October
Lewis of Portland, Oregon? And Mike Hawash? How about Masoud Ahmad Khan,
Seifullah Chapman, Yong Ki Kwon, Donald Surratt, and Hammad Abdur-Raheem
from the Washington DC area? What about James Ujaama? And Iyman Faris?
Krugman is entitled to his opinion about Ashcroft, no matter how
ridiculous, but as the saying goes, he is not entitled to his own facts.
