c2...Look what I found about Feldman...This is DEFINITELY partisan.........(and aren't Beers and Clarke good friends????????) These people simply don't care about how we can do better with terrorism....They seem to be only concerned about "anybody but Bush..." Evidently the WPo reporter didn't search too far, or she would have been able to see this for herself. But then again, maybe she did...and thought no one else would check.

>>>>>>Another key foreign policy player is Daniel Feldman, a senior associate in the D.C. office of Boston's Foley Hoag. Feldman served as director for multilateral and humanitarian affairs at the National Security Council in the Clinton administration.
Feldman was deputy press secretary to Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., in the 2000 vice presidential campaign, but went with Kerry in 2004 rather than support Lieberman's presidential candidacy, which ended last week.
Feldman says he respects Lieberman but thinks Kerry's foreign policy views more closely match his own.
"I've put together for Kerry a small group of mostly younger foreign policy advisers, a sort of mini-NSC," says Feldman, 36. Feldman says he helped pick the group by the expertise of its members to mirror the various directorates within the National Security Council, including experts on areas like the Middle East or Africa and on topics such as counter-terrorism or weapons of mass destruction.
"We have a weekly conference call, write position papers, and do opposition research on the Bush administration," says Feldman.
Feldman's "mini-NSC" may include a chief in waiting, since a third key member of the Kerry foreign policy team is Rand Beers, a Clinton official at both the State Department and the NSC. Beers also served in the current Bush administration as senior director for counter-terrorism but resigned in March 2003, just before the United States invaded Iraq. He works full time for the Kerry campaign.
Beers left the NSC because he was concerned that the Iraq War would divert resources from the global battle against terrorism. He is regarded by many as a possible secretary of state or national security adviser in a Kerry administration. <<<<<<<<
