I have noticed that since 9/11, Dershowitz seems to have come to the realization that as a jew his, personal, neck is on the line now, thanks to the terrorists, and as a result he has changed his tune on a number of issues relating to national security. Like the proverbial liberal who becomes conservative after being mugged, he has decided to change sides. That said, good for him for standing up to Carter and showing Carter for the complete old fool he really is.

Ed Koch appears to have come to this realization, too.
I was amazed at the severity of Dershowitz's tone, at the Boston Globe for publishing the piece, and that Larry King asked the old fool a tough question.
As for Carter, maybe, just maybe he'll get the point that his being a Nobelist ex-President does not entitle him to shoot his mouth off without being held accountable. I love that he is being denounced by all sides, but it would be too much to hope that the ridicule and jeers would drive him into retirement.
