For anyone wondering just how wrong-headed this Bush policy on port security is – I call it Miers at the Piers – this latest bit of news should clinch it for you.  

Jimmy Carter supports it. 

''The overall threat to the United States and security, I don't think it exists,'' Carter told CNN. ``I'm sure the president's done a good job with his subordinates to make sure this is not a threat.''

I’m sure.

Heartwarming how Carter gives Bush the benefit of the doubt as soon as Bush lets down his guard on national security. You can almost hear our worst president chortling, “It’s about time they saw things my way. This inordinate fear of terrorism must stop!”
