We are now a home for a diverse group of writers with deep experience on a wide range of topics: people such as retired U.S. diplomat William R. Polk who served as a front-line foreign policy adviser to President John F. Kennedy; retired CIA analyst Ray McGovern who went from briefing senior U.S. officials to battling the war fevers that frequently grip Official Washington; and retired Army JAG Major Todd E. Pierce who served as a defense counsel in the U.S. Military Commissions and explains how the actions of recent U.S. governments have deviated from constitutional principles.
