<<So when Zapatero and, more important, Prodi speak of nonmilitary means to combat terrorism, they don't mean draining the swamp by gradually building free institutions.>>

Bill, I was startled by Krauthammer's usage of "draining the swamp." Maybe I've been napping because I don't remember when that expression came to mean not only draining the swamp but building a condo in it's place. Since you're fond of the expression, can you enlighten me?
