But it will always make people like me call her credibility into question. As well it should.

You don't associate with @ssholes and then expect to keep your reputation intact.

The fact that you would write something like that for people to see shows how utterly narrow and constricted your thinking is.

She worked on his campaign in 1992. That is all. She advised him on foreign policy. That doesn't taint her reputation. That doesn't damage her credibility.

She has been, in interviews that I have seen, incredibly harsh on him and his administration. She says that the Clinton administration purposely turned its eyes away from the facts because they were to hesitant to confront Iraq.

This book was written before 9/11... when it wasn't popular or fashionable to write such things. It shows her expertise and courage. But, of course, you can't see that...

I didn't say she was wrong -- I said her credibility was in question. You've hit on a common problem with people who work for these think tanks, foreign policy institutes, etc. When they serve as consultants or write books, there is always a tendency to be skeptical about what they say -- because they are in the business of selling their services or selling their books.

I understand that people must earn a living, but there will always be that question in the back of my mind.
