Now here's a wonk with GOOD judgement!
Posted by Moira Whelan

At Kos, listening to General Clark (which will be followed by a great discussion on the military hosted by VoteVets). I was checking my morning news and wanted to share a few pieces with you.

At a time when the judgment of SOME national security experts is in question (sounds like O’Schmanlon and Collick), I wanted to remind people there are still good ones out there.

Would you quit your job because you disagree with the boss’s wrongheaded policy that endangers the country and threatens the lives of thousands? What’s more, would you throw yourself into an effort to get him fired? And raise money so you could hire a bunch of overzealous folks to join you in continuing the fight to make things right in a part of politics where it's NEVER been done before? I like to think I would, but hope I’ll never have to, because of Rand Beers.

He’s out in the woods right now and unlikely to see these posts about him.. Courage of conviction is something that is rare in this world. Sticking to it is unheard of.

We need more like you, Rand.
