that makes the kind of sense that doesn't.

Ironically, Kornbluh said, the controversy surrounding Negroponte's past helps qualify him for the job. "Someone who is a career diplomat ... on paper doesn't seem to have the intelligence background needed," he said. "The fact that he certainly departed from his diplomatic role and was involved in paramilitary operations against Nicaragua ... means he has had a relationship with covert operations in the past."

because we WANT to perpetuate the idea that all of our intelligence agents are evil, corrupt spooks. good job, bushie! pick us another one! what government position can we put kissinger in since he turned down the 9/11 commission? go team war-criminal!
