Stockton was a former Democratic staff member of the House Energy and Power subcommittee, and later a "special assistant" to Clinton's energy secretary, Bill Richardson. He's been with POGO (which is funded by shadows from somewhere) since the end of that gig.

His full name is Peter D. H. Stockton. He does not appear to have ever held an actual job outside of the Washington bullshit-industrial complex. He does not appear to have served in the military -- not ours, anyway.

While POGO claims to be "non-partisan," that's only because it's too far left for the Dems to claim it. Stockton, for example, has had a long and public feud with Al Gore.

Stockton has written literally dozens of papers and documents criticizing US nuclear weapons and US nuclear policy. I cannot find a word he has said against Russian (or for that matter Korean, Iranian, Pakistani) nukes. In Stockton's world, those are the good guys and we are the bad guys.

d.o.l.

Stockton has been caught selling out the nation before, according to the New York Times... his patron, John Dingell, retained him in the committee staff anyway.

He took $5,000 from TV producers in 1980 for inside information. You need TimesSelect to read the whole article, which dates from 1982.

Longer blurb here, no times select needed:

Most often he is just cited by calling him a nuclear or security expert. But he has no expertise or training in military, security, nuclear, or weapons matters that I can see.

One very interesting thing came up. In the Clinton years, he pressed to have the guards at nuc sites removed from contractor control and put directly under DOE... where he'd have had access to all the information about how they deploy and work.

Who is Peter DH Stockton really working for?

d.o.l.
