Guardian: War on Terror Failing
From The Guardian’s Brian Whitaker comes this troubling analysis: Another fine mess. According to Whitaker, who cites a new report from academic peacenik Paul Rogers, Bush’s “War on Terror” is failing to have any particular impact on the identified enemy.
I’m not sure I go all the way with the spin on this one. The Guardian is pretty famously one-sided in its view of things; sort of a Fox News-lite of the left. But even shading the conclusions with that in mind, it’s still a damning datapoint. By the particular measurements the report employed, at least, the Bush administration’s anti-terror campaign really isn’t achieving much good at all. And it’s certainly achieving plenty of bad.
