Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa (L) speaks with Elizabeth Cheney, U.S. Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, during discussions of 'People Power and Change in the Middle East' on the second day of the World Economic Forum at the Dead Sea May 21, 2005. Hundreds of the world's business leaders gathered at the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea on Friday to discuss social and political reforms in the Arab world.
So Liz is in the Middle East as well
I have just realised that Liz Cheney is at the same forum that Laura was today I wonder if they met.
Very interesting post about Liz Cheney Perry at #89.
While Liz has been at the state department she has had Near East responsibilities. I believe she has had more than one job. Why do we send women to work with Arab men? I thought they wouldn't want to work with a woman not wearing a burka.
I'm sure Liz does a good job, it is just curious. I thought her last job had to do with awarding funds to Middle East countries. Might be wrong.
