I'm not seeing how he *isn't* qualified to speak on matters of the economy of war, and the economy of Iraq. His editorial is full of facts, none of which appear to be in dispute.
It's funny how a hair-brained report on south african "genocide" from worldnetdaily goes unquestioned, but a well-thought editorial from a well-qualified source suddenly gets questioned. Mr. Krugman certainly has more qualification to speak on the economy of Iraq than, say, George Bush.
Yet, I hear no outcry when George Bush talks about the Iraqi economy that he lacks any economic qualifications to make his statements.
Given that the facts of the editorial have not yet been questioned it appears that no one is disputing Mr. Krugman's statements on the corruption in Iraq, just his qualification to say that there is corruption there.
