Lately I’ve been fascinated by the way so many former CIA and State Department officials, once freed from their jobs, have gone to work lobbying for energy security.
While on the government payroll they mostly behaved like good soldiers, stuck to their talking points and didn’t say anything that might upset the apple cart.
But once out on their own, they’ve been blunt about how energy policy has everything to do with a sound national security strategy and a successful foreign policy.
Among them are former CIA heads James Schlesinger and John Deutch and former Secretary of State George Shultz.
