Is this a joke?

No joke. As Dave Barry would say, "I am not making this up!"

I'm normally a pretty strong fan of the President, but this choice is disappointing.

[Smogger]

Um what exactly is your opposition to Kissinger? Those of you that think Kissinger was the wrong choice? Not enough of a partisan boot licker or what?

It sure seems like a joke. An email on secrecy from the Federation of American Scientists (fas.org) couldn't have said it better:

---

"Dr. Kissinger will bring broad experience, clear thinking and careful
judgment to this important task," the President said in signing the
2003 Intelligence Authorization Act.

But Kissinger is not distinguished as an impartial judge of government
misconduct, to put it mildly. To the contrary, he is an investigatee,
not an investigator, and one who has stubbornly resisted the
disclosure of official information to members of Congress, courts of
law, private researchers, and others.

Well, he COULD have tried to reinstate the Warren Commission, those who are left of it at least..

I am hoping and praying this (post 46) is a joke of some kind.
