John Brady Kiesling is More Deserving of the Medal of Honor than George Tenet.

Perhaps I'm late to this, but I just read US Diplomat John Brady Kiesling's letter of resignation to Colin Powell in protest of the the buildup and promotion of the Iraq war. It reads like a prophetic, lone voice of sanity, particularly today. It is also a stark reminder of how far the US's moral standing and credibility has fallen.


Quote (note this was written in Feb. 2003): "Have we indeed become blind, as Russia is blind in Chechnya, as Israel is blind in the Occupied Territories, to our own advice, that overwhelming military power is not the answer to terrorism? After the shambles of post-war Iraq joins the shambles in Grozny and Ramallah, it will be a brave foreigner who forms ranks with Micronesia to follow where we lead."

And who gets the million dollar book deal and medal of honor...?
