Given that you could never be accused of following the news very closely before disclosing your uninformed opinions, public opposition to the flawed treaty included six former defense secretaries, four former CIA directors (including two Clinton appointees), four former national security advisers, three former energy secretaries and three former directors of the national nuclear laboratories.
