[Peace] State Dept speaker, 9/22

[C. G. Estabrook]

[This guy resigned from the Foreign Service just before the
invasion of Iraq, because (as he said in his letter to Colin
Powell), "The policies we are now asked to advance are
incompatible not only with American values but also with
American interests."  It remains to be seen whether he regards 
the war as a crime -- or only as a mistake, like those other
resigned apparatchiks, Rand Beers and Richard Clarke.  --CGE]
