You may be wrong, Mo. IIRC Beers was part of a suit brought in US courts by Columbian? farmers who were sprayed (on his orders) by herbicides.

Rand Beers had a public service career spanning 25 years -- all the way back to the Reagan administration, where he was assigned to take over the terrorism and narcotics desk at the National Security Council following Oliver North. In October 1998, President Bill Clinton appointed Beers Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotic and Law Enforcement Affairs.
Beers was assigned to counterterrorism in the George W. Bush White House. He lasted seven months before resigning unexpectedly, which apparently worried his bosses:
The source said that the concern by the administration about low morale in the intelligence community led national security adviser Condoleezza Rice to ask Beers twice during an exit interview whether the resignation was a protest against the war with Iraq. The source said that although Beers insisted it was not, the tone of the interview concerned Rice enough that she felt she had to ask the question twice.
Then, two months after resigning from government, Beers joined the John Kerry campaign as a foreign policy advisor.
Taught a foreign policy class at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government with Richard A. Clarke in 2004.
