Krugman ("Some of All Fears") riffs on a classic Russell Baker column about nameless foes to whom almost any position can be ascribed: "The Some."

The Some take anti-American positions on a variety of issues. For example, they want to hurt the economy: "Some say, well, maybe the recession should have been deeper," said President Bush in 2003. "That bothers me when people say that."

Mainly, however, the Some are weak on national security. "There's Some in America who say, 'Well, this can't be true there are still people willing to attack,' " said Mr. Bush during a visit to the National Security Agency.

Slow week for Krugman. He had to write SOMETHING, and the al zarkawi story just easn't suitable content.
