"Krugman was a staunch supporter of the Iraq invasion,..." Why make stuff like this up when Krugman's 2003 columns are available for anyone to read? Just search on "krugman iraq war 2003" to find columns that totally disprove your accusation.
The contention that Krugman "just follows the herd" is just hilarious-- unless the "herd" doesn't include any of the Very Serious People who define the conventional wisdom in economics both here and in Europe.
