In December, I noted a story by Michael Isikoff in Newsweek that Condoleeza Rice would name Paul Wolfowitz to chair the State Department’s International Security Advisory Board.
Well, it is official. (Bloomberg News has a nice exposition with a money quote from Joe Cirincione.)
Although much of the attention is understandably focused on the chair, I am most concerned at how one-sided the overall composition of the board has become, especially since Amy Sands departed in the wake of that awful report they issued on space.
A little housekeeping. The ISAB removed the link to the terms of reference for their forthcoming China study. I have posted the TOR here.
