The March 7 Newsweek (NewsBeast) features an article titled "David Brooks Wants to Be Friends," but there's more bridge-burning than friend-making in this interview with James Atlas. Of course, he came up in Washington through conservative opinion journalism from the National Review, the Wall Street Journal editorial page, and The Weekly Standard, but "something has changed."

Negroponte, Jay Rockefeller, Mort Zuckerman, Robert Zoellick, Susan Rice, Tim Geithner, Joseph Nye, Jr., and many, many more New World Order types...
Oh. One of the Globaloneyists.
