After reading Krugman�s repugnant piece on 9/11, I cancelled my subscription to the New York Times this AM.�

That�s the reaction on Twitter today from former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to �The Years of Shame� blog post published Sunday by New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman.

In his post, Krugman argues that:

� After the Sept. 11 attacks, �heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war.�

� �Professional pundits … took the easy way out, turning a blind eye to the corruption and lending their support to the hijacking of the atrocity.�

� �The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.�

Krugman ended his post by saying �I�m not going to allow comments … for obvious reasons.�
