I heard on the radio this morning that Ambassador Stevens, prior to his appointment as Ambassador to Libya, had been the US liason to the muslim brotherhood rebels. He was proud of being part of taking down the Khadafi regime. Seems that he had a hand in creating the monster, too. I am NOT saying he deserved what he got, but ironically, he helped create the situation that killed him.
To say that foggy bottom is dominated by those of far left wing political philosophies is an understatement. The interviewers are very good at weeding out any applicants who do not fit the profile of left-wing orthodoxy. Occasionally, during a GOP administration, they are directed to hire a few token conservatives in the George Will mold so as to improve their diversity.
