The uses of periodical literature

Reader Tim Mattson writes:

Read the [October] Atlantic Monthly article by James Fallows on Iraq and Bin Laden, "Bush's Lost Year." [Only the opening of the article is included on the Atlantic's site.] Kerry's positions on these subjects were almost directly lifted from the Atlantic, especially his line quoting Powell and his criticism of Tora Bora. Any American who reads the Atlantic could have given Kerry's [positions in the debate].

This demonstrates two things about Kerry. First, he lacks any personal vision for American foreign policy. He simply took the latest issue of the Atlantic and adopted it as his own foreign policy. Second, it demonstrates that Kerry has missed so many Senate Intelligence Committee meetings that he is getting all his foreign policy information from a source available to the public at large. One would hope for more from a presidential candidate.

Berkeley economics professor Brad DeLong has posted excerpts of the Fallows article in "James Fallows: The lost year."

Professor Peter Schramm of No Left Turns has also directed us to the excellent column on the debate by Joseph Knippenberg: "Kerry needed a debate home run, but only got a single."
