Bill Arkin: campaign consultant and general hater of all things Rand Beers

WaPo national security columnist and blogger Bill Arkin, who rarely goes out of his way to lend a helping hand to Democrats, has this odd post this morning on The Century Foundation's most recent report [The Forgotten Homeland]. After reading it I'm left to wonder whether Bill was just releasing some pent up frustration over Rand Beers and/or Richard Clarke... or whether he wanted to actually make any points, however he did offer up some campaign advice for Democrats:

A far more consequential and appealing Democratic Party argument would be: America does not need more national security spending at home; it doesn't need to create a lock-down in its cities. What it needs is a more sensible and less fearful view of the terrorist threat.

There. I just saved you the trouble of reading it.
