[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vogon Poet: [QB] What you have here is a representative of the government expressing an opinion. The question is, was it a personal opinion, or the actual policy of the USG? If the latter, I'm sure that Rob will rush to remind us that, as in the case of the proposed use of tactical nuclear weapons we discussed a while back, it's just a contingency plan and it's perfectly OK to have contingency plans for any sort of potential action no matter how horrendous those actions might be. But that remains to be seen. If instead he was expressing a personal opinion, then his suitability for the office he holds is called into question. It might even call into question the judgement of the person who appointed him, but I don't know whether the current incumbent of 1600 Pa Avenue goes in for that whole "buck stops here" thing. It's not my call. The current leader of the Government Opposition over here, Ian Duncan Smith, was revealed to have a member of staff who had been a member of the British National Party, a far-right organisation. So far IDS remains leader of the Conservative Party, the Nazi has been sacked, and it's largely forgotten. I could even cite examples in British politics where a government representative has blabbed about secret policy matters, and has suffered as a result, just as someone who couldn't keep his mouth shut when he should have. But either way, I'd say Kirsanow is for the boot. [/QB][/QUOTE]
