"Freedom Fraud"

Matthew Yglesias has a solid article in the American Prospect highlighting the gap between Bush's rhetoric and his actual policies regarding democracy. While some of these policies can be defended on their own terms, filling the air with empty rhetoric like Bush is doing is extremely damaging both to American credibility abroad and to American voters who need to make informed judgements about the world beyond our borders.

And incidentally, congratulations to Matt on the cover story!
