The only response I can come up with to this Cliff May editorial is: "Why in the hell was the ISG seeking advice from Clifford May?"
Oh, by the way....Cliff, nobody remembers when you were a foreign correspondent and frankly neo-conservative think tanks are a dime a dozen in the D.C. area so I can understand why the Post overlooked it. What most people do remember is what a jerk you were as the "spokesman" for the Republican National Committee in the late 90's and the hours of face time you've gotten as a "Republican activist" ever since.
And while we're talking about journalistic malpractice, Cliff, great piece about how everyone knew that Valerie Plame was a CIA agent. May I quote you, "Who didn't know?" Absolutely brilliant commentary! Almost what you'd expect from... oh, I don't know, maybe a former spokesman for the RNC and Republican activist?
