Biden taps William Burns to head Central Intelligence Agency
President-elect Joe Biden announced Monday that he had selected longtime US State Department official William Burns to head the Central Intelligence Agency. Burns was a 33-year veteran of the US diplomatic corps, rising to Deputy Secretary of State from 2011 to 2014 in the Obama administration. He retired in 2014 to head the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a major foreign policy think tank in Washington.
As a top-level State Department official through the administrations of Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama, Burns is implicated in virtually every crime of US imperialism over the past three decades, including the war in Iraq, the US-NATO attack on Libya, the military coup that drowned the Egyptian Revolution in blood, and the US intervention in Syria.

Dear Mr. Secretary,
We, the undersigned, are former career diplomats and civil servants who have exercised responsibility for the implementation of U.S. policy in the Middle East, including the Republic of Yemen, across a number of presidential administrations both Republican and Democratic. Several of us also had responsibility for the implementation of U.S. policy to combat terrorism and the threat of violent extremism. We are united in our alarm over the prospect that the Trump administration is determined to designate Yemen’s Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. We urge the administration not to take this step, which we believe would be deeply damaging to U.S. national security interests, including the fight against terrorism, and, most of all, to the innocent civilians in Yemen.
