he former head of the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, managed to overlook the Air Force deserter with top-security clearance on her staff who has been a "most-wanted" fugitive for 35 years.
Nanette Asimov and Megan Cassidy report in the San Francisco Chronicle:
Employees in the University of California president's office in Oakland knew their former colleague Tim O'Beirne as the personable, brainy number-cruncher for the UC system's vast health benefits program.
They were stunned Tuesday to learn that the Air Force has identified him as William Howard Hughes Jr., a captain with top-secret clearance who vanished in 1983. The Air Force declared him a deserter and one of its most wanted fugitives and some suspected he had defected to the Soviets until his capture last Wednesday.

Why is this all not surprising?
I think the guy had some type of mental breakdown. He’s in a field where you really can’t go asking for help or your clearance goes down the drain. So he made the decision to just walk away. Like you....I think after twelve months at this base (after returning from overseas)...he could have just handed the paperwork over and gotten discharged. Through the 80s and 90s, I probably observed five or six officers who were burnt-out and ended up getting out of the service.
When it comes to Democrats, all the angst they reveal with regard to us, is because they know what they are up to, and a crook always thinks everyone else is a crook.
Well they will let anyone on a university staff. Think the weather underground.
The little lesbian is NOT the brightest bulb in the chandelier! Obama ONLY hired people DUMBER than he is.
“and some suspected he had defected to the Soviets...”
There’s nothing in the article to show he didn’t defect, and he must have gotten those very good, good-enough-to-hide-out-for-35-years, IDs from somewhere - in the ‘80s, remember.
Exactly...
There is much more to this.
I see what you did there!
It isn't just Obama as throughout my life I noticed that most leftists only hire people to be their Yes Men. Leftist hubris is so great they can't stand not being the smartest person in their group.
The entire Left denigrated President Reagan for being stupid but he actually was a great leader and used one of the greatest tools a leader can use; that being, he hired smart people to run things as Reagan knew about "span of control." Most good conservatives do the same.
