Foreign Affairs is the leading forum for serious discussion of American foreign policy and global affairs. Among its most influential articles are George Kennan’s 1947 essay “The Sources of Soviet Conduct,” which provided the rationale for U.S. containment strategy during the Cold War; Henry A. Kissinger’s first major work on nuclear weapons in April 1957, “Strength and Organization”; and Samuel P. Huntington’s landmark 1993 essay, “The Clash of Civilizations?”.
Why Michael Morell Cannot Be CIA Director
Gross manipulation of CIA analysis under George W. Bush pushed a new generation of “yes men” into the agency’s top ranks and now one of them is being considered by Joe Biden for the top job, writes ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
As President-elect Joe Biden names his cabinet and other chief advisers, what has escaped wide attention is the fact that none of his hawkish national security advisers except for his nominee for defense secretary, Gen. Lloyd Austin has served in the military.
Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell, who is reportedly on Biden’s short list for CIA director, shares that non-veteran status, one of the reasons along with other skeletons from Morell’s past that make him singularly unfit to lead the CIA.
