LIEBERMAN ON HOMELAND SECURITY
From the
Progressive Policy Institute.
Joe Lieberman is at present, with the possible exception of Richard Gephardt, the only Democratic primary contender with some degree of realism about the state of the threat the Islamist terror movement represents to the United States; his views could even be described as moderately hawkish. Unfortunately, reading this paper was a disapointment because Lieberman eschewed any bold proposals, even obvious ones like drastically expanding the National Guard to meet the increased national security missions that Lieberman envisions.
