    Seems like an exercise in pluperfectionism - a lot of pointless picking of even more pointless nits.

    Surely ... to a Tom Friedman apologist.

    For those who abhor the direction our foreign policy has taken over the past 8 years, it's closer to wrapping crime scene tape around an influential mouthpiece of one of the debacles, and posting a large DANGER . WARNING . KEEP OUT sign on Friedman's doorstep.

    Seems like a public service to me.
