“Today, Amb Wisner protected his reputation.”
You are certainly correct.
Of course, publically contradicting the “most powerful man in the world” on a global scale takes some guts.
Notwithstanding P.J.’s comments, Wisner’s principal in this instance, Hillary (and her faction), may have assured him of cover before he left on his assignment.
Amb Wisner doesn’t really have to protect his reputation, because his reputation proceeds him. I used to work for him. He calls them as he sees them, and his legacy is intact.
He was the most beloved American Ambassador to Egypt.....ever. Even the Egyptians will tell you that.
And as an example of his leadership and mentorship.....he produced Amb Ryan Crocker: who was his political secretary in the late 80’s.
