Tom Friedman in London

"If the 1990's were the era of "Davos Man," the 2000's are the era of "Security Man" - and like a priesthood, these "terrorism experts" have unchallenged authority to curb our freedom in the name of freedom. Some of them deserve respect and know their stuff. But some wouldn't recognize the 6-foot-5 Osama bin Laden if he walked past them dribbling a basketball and dragging his dialysis machine."

My favorite colmunist in the New York Times. Also, check out his book The Lexus And The Olive Tree.
