this is actually something of a heartfelt cri-de-couer that reads more like a swansong than a job application. Based on this post, I read Indyk's article, and I agree with your assessment. The fact that the U.S. translation of the recent Bin Ladin tape left out significant info bears out his views, IMO.

. . .you're wrong about Indyk . . . Interesting reading of the Indyk piece and, given the explanation you've offered, I can see how you get to that conclusion. Always helps if you've been fairly close to the actors. After I got your post, I went back and read the Indyk piece with your interpretation in mind. It works. But I'm still struck, reading it from the distance I do, just how unobjectionable it all is. Probably read too much Said lately. Now there's someone who writes from outside the policy mainstream. And three cheers for him, too. John
