Despicable

Wikileaks exposed hundreds of Afghan informants

If the information on the progress of the war from the much-ballyhooed Wikileaks publication of 92,000 documents didn’t come as a big surprise to Americans who have paid attention to the Af-Pak theater, it apparently will come as a big surprise to those in Afghanistan who have worked with US forces.  Julian Assange’s leak included the names of hundreds of informants and people working with US forces in Afghanistan.  Those people will now have to be protected, and it’s not likely they’ll be replaced

Well, let’s make that the Americans and the Swedes.  Bradley Manning, Assange’s source within the US military, will face trial for his crimes in passing along classified material.  If any of these people get killed after their exposure, he should be charged with at least being an accessory to their murders.  But the man who actually published their names is hiding behind the skirts of the Swedish government, which allows Assange to publish classified material with no consequences.

Wikileaks docs can’t stop Congress from passing war funding bill

We Don’t Have One

The CEO problem

Oddly, Zakaria offers a hair-of-the-dog solution in the short term, demanding another government stimulus package in the summer.  Why?  Because teachers will lose their jobs, Zakaria claims, falling into the same trap that the national media bought in the wake of Porkulus.  Never mind that dozens of state- and local-based media reported accurately that those jobs were never actually in jeopardy, as the “education” funds received by the states allowed them to shift resources to protect jobs in other bureaucracies.  Zakaria spends most of his column showing how destructive the government interventions have been, and then argues we can’t live without just one more round, like an alcoholic who promises to swear off the bottle tomorrow.

In order to unlock the capital in those ledgers, the US needs to set a fiscal course that demonstrates deficit reduction and elimination through substantial spending cuts rather than future tax hikes.  That means an end to government interventions, especially those added or enhanced in the last few years that took the annual federal budget from $2.77 trillion to over $3.8 trillion in just three fiscal years.  Capital markets need to see pro-capital policies, run by people who actually understand capital markets, and not by ivory-tower intellectuals whose closest experience to private-sector management was a case study published by the Harvard School of Business.  And until Washington starts producing those kinds of policies, investors will continue to shield their capital — or find other markets in which to invest it.
