Those of us who consider ourselves moderates — moderate-conservative, in my case — are forced to confront the reality that Barack Obama is not who we thought he was. His words are responsible; his character is inspiring. But his actions betray a transformational liberalism that should put every centrist on notice. David Brooks, NYT, 2 Mar 2009

Although Brooks' piece is more about economics and party values than security, I think it shows that people are beginning to question the emperor's choice of wardrobe--in everything he is doing.
