Hilary,
You may know but for the last four years I have been working with the Qatari's and in particular with Sheikha Moser on
disability issues in Qatar and I have built up a good relationship with them
Sheikha Moser has approached me privately saying they are keen to get their relationship with the USA onto a more
positive footing and she was hoping for a "women-to women" one to one private meeting with you. She is happy to
come to Washington if you could make some time available.
Is this something you would be prepared o do. Sheikha Moser is someone who has real influence in Qatar and she has
made a lot of difference already with her education city and with the Shaffalah Centre for people with Disabilities in
which I am involved as the Co Chair of its Annual Disability conference. I am sure the conversation would not be
confined to these issues but would be about the US/Qatar relationship generally.

Hillary,
The email below from Sally Osberg, President of the Skoll Foundation reminds me that right after the Skoll Forum in
Oxford, I wrote Cheryl indicating your interest in meeting with Jeff Skoll. I sent another email on this and a couple of
other meetings I think important (Jacqueline Novogratz, Acumen) but have never heard anything from her. I really do
think it would be valuable for you to meet Jeff Skoll, and to talk with Jacqueline about Pakistan, in particular, but
Acumen more generally. Perhaps I should go through the public-private partnerships office?
Re
if AID still isn't done, if he'd come in, you might consider whether he should be asked to undertake AID he'd

Of course, I encouraged him to do it (as have most of his students,

development paradigm for engaging with the world.
As I thought about what I said to

drawing upon my admiration for what another great social entrepreneur, John

World Bank leadership role, and how you were able to leverage your entrepreneurial instincts and clear commitment to

Dear Margo and Jill,
I'm writing to see if you might help me secure a meeting with Secretary Clinton to talk about my ideas for a $500 million
Global Innovation Fund that invests in "what works" in international development and would complement the work
President Obama is doing with his domestically-focused Social Innovation Fund.
The world needs a new vision for development. This is the moment for experimentation and a new commitment to
innovation and change. The U.S. spent $23.5 billion on foreign assistance in 2006. If we experimented with just $500
million to invest capital and technical assistance in social enterprises focused on results, accountability and scale, we
could build real blueprints for change. At Acumen Fund we see so many impactful and promising innovations; the State
Department would be a powerful partner in scaling those successes.
A global social innovation fund would be particularly impactful in Pakistan. The U.S. may commit $11.5 billion over five
years to Pakistan, and it is critical that we look closely at how we might spend that money. In Acumen Fund's seven
years working in Pakistan we have found that models for change exist, and we have built a powerful community of
entrepreneurs and supporters within Pakistan. As you know we have invested in organizations like Saiban, which has
provided low-cost housing to more than 60,000. There is FMIA, a joint venture that has sold more than 30,000 health
insurance policies. And Kashf, a microfinance institution serving more than 300,000 poor women by making small loans
to help themselves change their own lives. The challenge is to grow these solutions from reaching hundreds of
thousands to the millions most in need.
I believe this kind of investment in Pakistan is the "smart power" that Secretary Clinton referred to in her speech at the
Global Philanthropy Forum. She has an incredible vision and Acumen Fund would love to find ways to support her.
Anything you could do would be truly appreciated. And do let me know anything I can do on this end as I feel a deep
sense of urgency and want to do all I can to contribute.
Thanks so much,
Jacqueline

Subject: Some other thoughts
AMS did not like any of this both for the substance and because she did not write it so we did not share it with you
today. Then I decided to share it with you anyway for any value it has for you.
Frame:
The world we live in today is inextricably interconnected. Together we succeed. Apart we fail. In the Obama
Administration, we will use smart power to advance to our shared security, shared prosperity and shared humanity.
In advancing our shared security, we seek to:

Reduce threat of violent extremism
Reduce the spread of weapons of mass destruction
In advancing our shared prosperity, we seek to:
Use development to create and sustain strong stable economies by:
o Focusing on women as essential for driving economic growth;
o Expanding access to food and the means to grow or buy it; and,
o Expanding access to quality education in developing countries;
Expand access to stable, affordable and increasingly clean energy sources

In advancing our shared humanity, we seek to:
Expand human rights and the conditions that promote respect for human rights
Support the development of health systems that support healthier societies and confront the spread of pandemic
disease (e.g., AlDs)
How we achieve these goals:
We will advance these goals through shared responsibility and the application of smart power. America has the
responsibility to lead, but can only lead in partnership with others. Smart power means elevating and integrating
diplomacy and development.
DIPLOMACY:
Focus on priority partnerships:

Revitalized partnerships with historic allies EU, Japan, Korea, Australia;
Calibrated partnerships with China and Russia;
Cultivated partnerships: Brazil, India, Turkey, Indonesia, and South Africa;
Targeted public/private and multilateral partnerships based upon the principles of variable geometry (i.e., focused
on the problem at hand).
Build strong partnerships by:
listening and mutual respect which has begun already and will continue
being accountable for the challenges we create and demanding that our partners are similarly accountable;
focusing on government to people, and people to people connections using new technology to create buy in from
bottom up so shared responsibility is experienced on the ground and sustainable;
eliminating the obstacles to cooperation that stand in the way of us achieve our goals (e.g., resolving Cyprus so
Turkey can enter the EU; engaging Iran to create greater accountability among EU partners if engagement fails)
creating work plans to drive cooperation on our shared agenda: tasks, timetables and benchmarks for each
country
DEVELOPMENT:
Establish and implement against our critical priorities:
Women as economic drivers and social stabilizers;

Education as the gateway to economic opportunity and human rights;
Food and agriculture as the cornerstone of sustainable local economies

Global health as the foundation for the future
Reform our government institutions
Improve coordination in planning and budgeting across our diplomacy and development
Make Ambassadors country-level CEOs responsible for government-wide efforts in each country.
o Grow the quality, talents and capacities of our development institutions;
o Introduce effective metrics and evaluation for accountability
Improve delivery and outcomes
Assess and promote what works and stop spending resources on what doesn't.
Establish transparent benchmarks for measuring success

Subject: Some other thoughts
AMS did not like any of this both for the substance and because she did not write it so we did not share it with you
today. Then I decided to share it with you anyway for any value it has for you.
Frame:
The world we live in today is inextricably interconnected. Together we succeed. Apart we fail. In the Obama
Administration, we will use smart power to advance to our shared security, shared prosperity and shared humanity.
In advancing our shared security, we seek to:

Reduce threat of violent extremism
Reduce the spread of weapons of mass destruction
In advancing our shared prosperity, we seek to:
Use development to create and sustain strong stable economies by:
o Focusing on women as essential for driving economic growth;
o Expanding access to food and the means to grow or buy it; and,
o Expanding access to quality education in developing countries;
Expand access to stable, affordable and increasingly clean energy sources

In advancing our shared humanity, we seek to:
Expand human rights and the conditions that promote respect for human rights
Support the development of health systems that support healthier societies and confront the spread of pandemic
disease (e.g., AIDs)
How we achieve these goals:
We will advance these goals through shared responsibility and the application of smart power. America has the
responsibility to lead, but can only lead in partnership with others. Smart power means elevating and integrating
diplomacy and development.
DIPLOMACY:
Focus on priority partnerships:

Revitalized partnerships with historic allies EU, Japan, Korea, Australia;
Calibrated partnerships with China and Russia;
Cultivated partnerships: Brazil, India, Turkey, Indonesia, and South Africa;
Targeted public/private and multilateral partnerships based upon the principles of variable geometry (i.e., focused
on the problem at hand).
Build strong partnerships by:
listening and mutual respect which has begun already and will continue
being accountable for the challenges we create and demanding that our partners are similarly accountable;
focusing on government to people, and people to people connections using new technology to create buy in from
bottom up so shared responsibility is experienced on the ground and sustainable;
eliminating the obstacles to cooperation that stand in the way of us achieve our goals (e.g., resolving Cyprus so
Turkey can enter the EU; engaging Iran to create greater accountability among EU partners if engagement fails)
creating work plans to drive cooperation on our shared agenda: tasks, timetables and benchmarks for each
country
DEVELOPMENT:
Establish and implement against our critical priorities:
Women as economic drivers and social stabilizers;

Education as the gateway to economic opportunity and human rights;
Food and agriculture as the cornerstone of sustainable local economies

Global health as the foundation for the future
Reform our government institutions
Improve coordination in planning and budgeting across our diplomacy and development
Make Ambassadors country-level CEOs responsible for government-wide efforts in each country.
o Grow the quality, talents and capacities of our development institutions;
o Introduce effective metrics and evaluation for accountability
Improve delivery and outcomes
Assess and promote what works and stop spending resources on what doesn't.
Establish transparent benchmarks for measuring success

(SBU) Governor Richardson Interviewed on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show: Richardson discussed his previous
humanitarian missions to the DPRK to retrieve detained Amcits as well as the current case. He praised the
Administration's handling of the situation so far. In particular, he said that the Secretary had been doing a good job of
emphasizing quiet diplomacy as the way to resolve the matter. Maddow made two inaccurate statements in the
introduction to the segment: 1) that the DPRK has only allowed one consular visit so far; 2) that indictment was
particularly concerning because none of the previous cases had ever gone to court. Richardson corrected the latter
inaccuracy. (EAP/K)

Hilary,
You may know but for the last four years I have been working with the Qatari's and in particular with Sheikha Moser on
disability issues in Qatar and I have built up a good relationship with them
Sheikha Moser has approached me privately saying they are keen to get their relationship with the USA onto a more
positive footing and she was hoping for a "women to women" one to one private meeting with you. She is happy to
come to Washington if you could make some time available.
Is this something you would be prepared o do. Sheikha Moser is someone who has real influence in Qatar and she has
made a lot of difference already with her education city and with the Shaffalah Centre for people with Disabilities in
which I am involved as the Co Chair of its Annual Disability conference. I am sure the conversation would not be
confined to these issues but would be about the US/Qatar relationship generally.

Brian, First, thanks for a nice family morning and for breakfast. Always fun, always interesting and always fulfilling.
Below is a sample of the kind of emails I sent to various people (studio heads; Dan Glickman; etc), which have started to
generate concern, interest and action. AJC is also active on other fronts, as well.
Just below the email you will find the news item which first called this abomination to my attention.
I hope you can enlist Hilary's support (and please give her my personal best). We need, for many reasons, to have the
US protest and condemn this outrageous boycott and to oppose the anti-Semitism inherent in it; cf Durban. The
organizers of the festival must be convinced to reverse themselves. This, because of the inherent wrongness of it and
that if it succeeds, it will encourage and motivate those who fomented the boycott to other, probably even worse,
action. For example, there is in effect or pending (I am not certain which) a UK-Israeli treaty on film production; we
should cut off at the pass any attempts to derail it.
Our Embassy in London does not yet have our Ambassador. The charge d'affaires is Robert Lebaron who I hope will
receive appropriate instructions from DOS. If he acts quickly, it is likely that other nations will follow suit; again,
compare Durban.
This is truly appalling and serious and I earnestly solicit your assistance with the Secretary, and through you my earnest
solicitation of her assistance.
With appreciation and love, Bruce

Dear Michael, This is disgusting and outrageous.

If you have any films in the festival or can lean on anyone else who does, please get them withdrawn. We would not

boycotts beget boycotts.
Thanks for whatever help you can be.

Edinburgh film festival bows to pressure from Ken Loach over Israeli boycott
Mike Wade
A row threatened to engulf the Edinburgh International Film Festival yesterday after it bowed to pressure from the
director Ken Loach and returned a 300 grant it had received from the Israeli Embassy.
'Sir Jeremy Isaacs, the former chief executive of Channel Four, accused the festival's organisers of making "an appalling
decision" and called on them to rescind it. Describing Loach's intervention as an act of censorship, he said: "They must
not allow someone who has no real position, no rock to stand on, to interfere with their programming."
The grant was intended to enable Tali Shalom Ezer, a graduate of Tel Aviv University, to travel to Scotland for a
screening of her film, Surrogate.
After days of protest against the award from pro-Palestinian organisations, Loach, an outspoken opponent of Israel's
policies in Lebanon and Gaza, urged filmgoers on Monday to boycott Edinburgh.
"The massacres and state terrorism in Gaza make this money unacceptable," he said. "With regret, I must urge all who
might consider visiting the festival to show their support for the Palestinian nation and stay away."
The intervention brought an immediate capitulation from the organisers. In a statement the festival said it accepted that
Loach spoke "on behalf of the film community, therefore we will be returning the funding issued by the Israeli Embassy".
Sir Jeremy said that he was disgusted both by Loach's actions and by the capitulation of the festival organisers. "Ken
Loach has always been critical of censorship of his own work, albeit it was many years in the past. The idea that he
should lend himself to the denial of a film-maker's right to show her work is absolutely appalling," he said. He was
"equally horrified" that festival organisers should accept that Loach was speaking on behalf of all British film-makers.
Sir Jeremy worked closely with Loach in the 1980s when, as chief executive of Channel Four, he commissioned a number
of controversial documentaries from him. One, A Question of Leadership, was made in 1981 but never broadcast,
leading to accusations of political censorship from Loach. The irony of the director's present position was all the more
obvious, given the spirit of the Edinburgh festival, Sir Jeremy said.
"It must be good for cinemagoers at an international film festival to see films by Jews, Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians, to
the benefit of all," he said.
"I have admired the Edinburgh International Film Festival for many years and would like to think that this appalling
decision will be rescinded."
Loach's acclaimed new film Looking for Eric has made him the toast of the Cannes Film Festival. It is, uncharacteristically,
a comedy, although its lead character is an authentic Loach creation a Mancunian postman who goes off in search of
his idol, the footballer Eric Cantona.
Ezer's film makes no reference to war or politics. It is a romance set in a sex-therapy clinic. It won the audience award at
an international women's film festival in Israel recently.
Lord Janner of Braunstone, a Labour peer and former chairman of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said that he was
disappointed by the festival's decision. "By banning the Israeli Embassy from supporting a film-maker the festival is
helping to exclude Israelis from British cultural life, something that is clearly unfair."
Last night a spokesman for the EIFF said that although it had returned 300 to the Israeli Embassy, the festival itself
would fund Ms Shalom-Ezer's travel to Edinburgh out of its own budget

Dear Cherie-I could make time to meet in DC during the weeks of June 8th and 15th. Would that work? I would rearrange my
schedule to fit her time.
Otherwise, I will be in Trieste, Italy and Corfu, Greece for meetings the last week in June.
Let me know if this works. Thx and all the best, H

From: Jim Kennedy

Cc:
Sent: Fri May 29 02:35:47 2009
Subject: Re: FW: Frame
I think this is very good. I really like the emphasis on security, which is part of her brand, and very relevant (I always
have in the back of my mind the possibility that great tragedy will strike again, so we need to prepared to deal with that
reality, should it come about some day).
I like combining that with the notion of prosperity and humanity, which together covers so much ground - from
economic development to human rights.
A couple miscl thoughts -- in terms of promoting prosperity/economic development, might there be a reason to technological advancement
(giving people access to education and technological tools that can help them in terms of both education and access to
social networks and other avenues for advancement). You do reference education in the development arena, and in
prosperity, so that's good).
- there isn't much here mentioning democratization, freedom, etc. I know that is probably dicey given the multitude of
governments we want to partner with that aren't ready to talk that talk, but still think it needs to be incorporated in
some aspect of a mission statement.
- really like strong reference to women as a key to economic and social stabilization. That ties into her "brand" and into
a reality. I know when the First Ladies of Africa came out here to LA, one of the desires was to try to draw them into an
alliance that might transcend their own national differences and create cross-border force for positive change. A friend
of mine is one of the executives with the Hunger Project, whose CEO is a woman who focuses, too, on the way targeting
women can help alleviate hunger in ways that just dealing with men or generally cannot.
- really like that 'variable geometry' reference. This is kind of like 3 dimensional chess - strange and complicated
alliances need to be made to grapple with a multitude of cross-cutting challenges. This is calculus, not arithmetic.
- would like to be sure religions are involved here, vis a vis the various partnerships. It can be either a powerful force of
positive change, or it can get in the way of progress, depending on how it's used or abused, but to the extent allowed
Constitutionally, the power of religion should be encouraged in the direction of alliances and partnerships of progress.
- as I think about Kennan's "containment" doctrine a little further - in some ways it can be reapplied to extremism,
meaning that our goal should be to contain not Communism this time, but extremist ideology whereever it exists, and
just as Kennan supported, development is one of the ways to build those walls of containment around a dangerous
ideology. We want to contain extremist, nihilistic, violent ideologies and movements whereever they might take root,
and a good way to do that is to focus on development, on women, on technology, on education.
The power of diplomacy rests on two foundations. On the one hand, there is the reality and potentiality of military
force. Without having the capacity to defend, and to project force, diplomacy is inherently weak and ineffectual.
On the other hand, development is the other foundation upon which successful diplomacy can be built. It's the carrot to
the military's stick. And the State Department has an integral role to play in both the diplomatic and developmental
parts of that tripod (while also being understanding of, and when necessary supportive of, implementing the military
part).
The connective tissue of security, prosperity and humanity is, as you suggest, "purpose," or more prosaically "morality." Morals. It is immoral for people to live in fear, to be unprotected, to be subject to harm and death. It is
immoral for people's human rights to be violated, to not have access to education and heatlh. And it is immoral to be
denied the opportunity to grow, to create a better future for children, etc. To let, as Roy has said, every child to live up
to his or her God-given potential.
one last point - on shared humanity, perhaps protecting the natural resources of the Earth - environmentalism - should
be referenced along with health and human rights. It's part of the underpinning of our international morality and the
kind of partnership we need to solve global warming, etc.

Subject: Huff Post Renegade Excerpt
Of all his transition choices, none was easier to make, or more complex to execute, than Hillary Clinton as secretary of
state. Obama had long wanted his former rival on his team, no matter what his friends and aides said about her
aggressive campaign... His staff opposed the idea for the most part, arguing that Clinton would never be truly loyal. But
Obama was willing to leave the primaries behind, including his own strong feelings at the time. "I don't hold grudges,"
he told his aides. "I don't worry about the past. I'm concerned about what happens now. If she can help me and Bill
Clinton isn't too much of a liability, we should seriously look at this." ...
Obama was under no illusion about the legacy of the long primary season. During one transition meeting, Obama said he
wanted to offer Clinton the diplomatic job. "I'm really interested in pursuing this, but I know she has some hard feelings
coming out of this campaign." Emanuel and John Podesta, the former Clinton official who ran the transition, assured
Obama that she was over those hard feelings now. Obama smiled and said, "Believe me. She's not over it yet."
His decision to offer her the job of secretary of state came surprisingly early. Well before the end of the primaries, when
his staff and friends still felt hostile to her, Obama decided that Clinton possessed the qualities to carry his diplomacy to
the rest of the world. "We actually thought during the primary, when we were pretty sure we were going to win, that
she could end up being a very effective secretary of state," he told me later. "I felt that she was disciplined, that she was
precise, that she was smart as a whip, and that she would present a really strong image to the world...I had that mapped
out."
Recruiting and managing a team of rivals would not be easy, and Clinton came with her own set of issues. Chief among
them was her campaign debt, which she wanted eliminated before she took the job of secretary of state. Would the
president-elect go out and help her to do so? "I'm not begging her to take this job," Obama told his senior aides. "If she
wants it, I could help. But I'm not willing to go out in these difficult economic times to do a flashy fundraiser in
California." As it happened, plenty of people in the Senate were begging Obama to offer Clinton the job. Obama's aides
believed that many Senate Democrats thought Clinton had extended her presidential campaign far beyond the point
where she had lost the election. Her negative advertising wasted Democratic money, threatened to undermine the
party's nominee, and suggested that she was disloyal to the party. They were unwilling to offer the junior New York
senator a position ahead of her lowly rank, and she stood little chance of becoming majority leader. "There was a lot of
encouragement from inside the Senate to get her into this job," said one senior Obama aide. "They wanted her out of
there." ...
As for controlling the uncontrollable Bill Clinton, Obama's aides drew up a series of checks on his fundraising for both
Clinton Global Initiative and his work on HIV/AIDS across the world. But they really counted on Hillary to be the ultimate
safeguard - against both her husband and her own ambition. "It's in her interests to keep him in line," warned one senior
Obama aide. Others in Obama's inner circle said the president-elect believed Clinton needed to demonstrate that she
was a team player and to shape her own career and legacy. "There are plenty who don't trust her and think she still
harbors something," said another senior adviser. "It's still potentially problematic down the road. Barack's thinking on
this is that it's not in her interests to mess with us. She can't win that fight internally and she's smart enough that she
won't want that fight publicly."
Several weeks into the administration, even Clinton's internal critics believed the relationship was a success. "They have
both worked really hard at it," said one senior White House official. "There's a natural affinity and respect that ironically
grew out of being opponents. You get to know someone really well after all that."

Dear Cheryl
Following a few discussions with Dick Gephardt - I have pleasure in laying out fairly detailed information about a
conference that is being held in Demark on 3-4 December 2009.
We have made the note reasonably in-depth so hopefully will provide you with sufficient background. The organisers of
the event which are ATP - the largest Danish Pension Fund and the Climate Consortium Denmark are being sponsored
and backed by the Danish government and they were very hopeful that Hillary would be able to be the key note speaker
at the conference for reasons that they have identified in the attached briefing document.
We were hoping to establish whether this event would be of interest for Hillary to appear and if she was available we
would then arrange for the formal invite to be sent out by the Danish Government.
If we can provide any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
With very Best wishes

Nigel

Sorry to flood your email, but I couldn't resist sending this to you from Ben Smith.
A year later, Hillary wins
A year ago today, the final set of primaries made official the foregone conclusion that Barack Obama had won the
primary, and Hillary Clinton lost it.
There's far too much going on today to dwell on an anniversary, but it does seem worth noting one particular piece of
news in its light: On the central health care policy debate of the Democratic Primary -- which was, to be fair, conducted
within a fairly narrow frame -- Obama appears to have conceded today to a Senate plan likely to more closely resemble
Clinton's.
In a dense, careful letter <http://www.politico.com/static/PPM118_090603_healthcare_ltr.html> to Ted Kennedy nd
Max Baucus, Obama offered his principles <http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/23298.html> for a health care
plan and conceded on a central point: He is now open to an individual mandate, which he campaigned against, and
which is now being talked about by Senators of both parties with the buzzword "shared responsibility."
Obama still backs a "hardship waiver" for people unable to afford the mandate -- which is consistent with the core of his
objection to the mandate. But what he cast as a principled difference of approach -- was the problem merely that
people couldn't afford insurance? or something more? -- seems to have been conceded.
Here's the relevant paragraph:
I understand the Committees are moving towards a principle of shared responsibility -- making every American
responsible for having health insurance coverage, and asking that employers share in the cost. I share the goal of ending
lapses and gaps in coverage that make us less healthy and drive up everyone's costs, and I am open to your ideas on
shared responsibility. But I believe if we are going to make people responsible for owning health insurance, we must
make health care affordable. If we do end up with a system where people are responsible for their own insurance, we

need to provide a hardship waiver to exempt Americans who cannot afford it. In addition, while I believe that employers
have a responsibility to support health insurance for their employees, small businesses face a number of special
challenges in affording health benefits and should be exempted.

National Security Threats Posed by Climate Change and Our Dependence on Foreign Oil
Dear,
I've spent my entire life working to keep America safe. That is why I feel compelled to add my voice to the growing
number of senior U.S. generals, admirals, and veterans calling for immediate actions to address the alarming national
security threats posed by climate change and our dependence on foreign oil.
We import over half our oil from countries that are hostile to us. Last year, we paid over $255 BILLION to Middle
Eastern countries that are the primary funders for terrorists groups like Al Qaeda and to Russia and Venezuela.
The U.S. consumes more energy than any other country in the world, so increased U.S. fuel efficiency standards and
reliance on renewable energy will directly affect not only our own economic prosperity, but world energy prices as well.
That matters because when the cost of a barrel of crude oil increases $10, the Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran gets $15
billion more, Putin in Russia gets an extra $36 billion, and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela gets an additional $10 billion to
prop up his anti-American regime.
Furthermore, since the military is the largest energy consumer in the U.S., that same $10/barrel increase means DoD has
to spend $1.3 billion more on fuel, which is equal to the entire procurement budget for the Marine Corps.
But our reliance on foreign oil does more than fund our enemies. The droughts, famines, and rising sea levels caused by
climate change pose perhaps the greatest destabilizing influence the world will face over the next 50 years.
Forty percent of the world's population gets its drinking water from mountain glaciers that could disappear within
decades. Without forceful and decisive action, conflict will likely erupt among climate refugees competing for dwindling
resources and political destabilization will create ungoverned spaces where terrorists can flourish. These effects were
seen in Afghanistan in the 1990s and are currently being experienced in Somalia and Darfur, were genocide erupted
following the drying of Lake Chad, leaving 300,000 dead.
We must act now. A huge coalition of faith and military leaders have joined together to support efforts in Congress to
pass effective climate change legislation this year. We need you to add your voice to ours by taking 1 minute to
encourage your Member of Congress to support this effort. Please click here to email or call your Representative.

Kyrgyzstan rejects Obama "cooperation" offer

U.S. President Obama has sent a personal appeal to Kyrgyzstan proposing ways to discuss "expanding cooperation".
Kyrgyzstan will not reverse its decision to close a U.S. military air base which is used to supply American troops for
Afghanistan occupation, Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Kadyrbek Sarbayev said on Thursday. U.S. President Barack Obama has
sent a personal appeal to Kyrgyzstan proposing ways to discuss "expanding cooperation".
But Bakiyev's office said in a statement it had received a letter from Obama praising bilateral relations. "Moreover,
Barack Obama expressed hope to further strengthen various forms of cooperation between the United States and
Kyrgyzstan," the statement said without mentioning the air base issue. "The decision to annul all agreements on the
Manas military air base has been taken and there is no turning back on this," he told the 24.kg news agency.

Most interesting observation of the day, from
"A statistical analysis of the data issued by the ministry of interior suggests a perfect linear relationship between votes
received by Ahmadinejad and Mousavi with an r-squared value of 0.9995, a near impossibility in nature.This suggests
that the ballots were never counted or were abandoned after it was clear Ahmadinejad was going to lose. Statistically, it
is impossible to maintain such a perfect linear relationship consistently through all stages of vote counting. We would
expect variation as the votes were coming in, due to differences expected between the cites and the country side and
hetereogeneity amoung ethnic groups.This to me is the most concrete evidence I have seen"

The Settlements Facts
By Daniel Kurtzer
Sunday, June 14, 2009
Faulty analysis of the Israeli settlement issue is being passed off as fact. Charles Krauthammer's June 5 column, "The
Settlements Myth <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/04/AR2009060403811.html > ,"
is one example.
Here are the facts: In 2003, the Israeli government accepted, with some reservations, the "road map" for peace, which
imposed two requirements on Israel regarding settlements: "GOI [Government of Israel] immediately dismantles
settlement outposts erected since March 2001. Consistent with the Mitchell Report, GOI freezes all settlement activity
(including natural growth of settlements)."
Today, Israel maintains that three events -- namely, draft understandings discussed in 2003 between Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon and U.S. deputy national security adviser Stephen Hadley; President George W. Bush's April 14, 2004, letter
to Sharon; and an April 14 letter from Sharon adviser Dov Weissglas to national security adviser Condoleezza Rice -constitute a formal understanding in which the United States accepted continuing Israeli building within the
"construction line" of settlements. The problem is that there was no such understanding.
The first event the Israelis cite is the 2003 discussions on a four-part draft that included the notion that construction
within settlements might be permitted if confined to the already built-up areas of the settlements. The idea was to draw
a line around the outer perimeter of built-up areas in settlements and to allow building only inside that line. This draft
was never codified, and no effort was made then to define the line around the built-up areas of settlements.
B6
Nonetheless, Israel began to act largely in accordance with its own reading of these provisions, probably believing that
U.S. silence conferred assent.
Second, President Bush's 2004 letter conveyed U.S. support of an agreed outcome of negotiations in which Israel would
retain "existing major Israeli population centers" in the West Bank "on the basis of mutually agreed changes ...." One
of the key provisions of this letter was that U.S. support for Israel's retaining some settlements was predicated on there
being an "agreed outcome" of negotiations. Despite Israel's contention that this letter allowed it to continue building in
the large settlement blocs of Ariel, Maale Adumim and Gush Etzion, the letter did not convey any U.S. support for or
understanding of Israeli settlement activities in these or other areas in the run-up to a peace agreement.
In his 2004 letter to Rice, Weissglas addressed the issue of the "construction line," saying that "within the agreed
principles of settlement activities, an effort will be made in the next few days to have a better definition of the
construction line of settlements in Judea & Samaria." However, there never were any "agreed principles of settlement
activities." Moreover, the effort to define the "construction line" was never consummated: Israel and the United States
discussed briefly but did not reach agreement on the definition of the construction line of settlements. Weissglas's letter
also promised "continuous action" to remove all the unauthorized outposts, but Israel removed almost none of them.
Throughout this period, the Bush administration did not regularly protest Israel's continuing settlement activity. But this
is very different from arguing that the United States agreed with it. In recent days, former senior Bush administration
officials have told journalists on background that no understandings existed with Israel regarding continued settlement
activity.
Commentators also focus on the Obama administration's reiteration that a freeze must include the "natural growth" of
settlements. Krauthammer says that this "means strangling to death the thriving towns close to the 1949 armistice line.
.. It means no increase in population. Which means no babies." This is nonsense. No one suggests that Israelis stop
having babies. Rather, the blessing of a new baby does not translate into a right to build more apartments or houses in
settlements. The two issues have nothing to do with each other. Israelis, like Americans, move all the time when life
circumstances -- children, jobs, housing availability -- change.
The pattern of population growth in the territories actually undercuts the natural-growth argument. Since 1993, when
Israel signed the Oslo Accords, Israel's West Bank settler population has grown from 116,300 to 289,600. The numbers in
East Jerusalem increased from 152,800 to more than 186,000. This goes far beyond the natural increase of families
already living in the settlements. Inserting the provision of "natural growth" in official documents started with the 2001
Mitchell Report and the 2003 "road map," reflecting recognition that the concept was being abused as a justification for
expanding settlements. The Obama administration is pursuing policies that every administration since 1967 has
articulated -- that settlements jeopardize the possibility of achieving peace and thus settlement activity should stop. This
does not diminish the Palestinians' responsibilities, especially their commitment to stop violence and terrorism and
uproot terrorist infrastructure. President Obama emphasized this in his Cairo speech. But Palestinian failures in no way
justify Israeli failure to implement their road map commitments with respect to settlements and outposts. It is time for
Israel to freeze all settlement activity and dismantle the unauthorized outposts.

University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Dear Secretary Clinton:

With reference to our letter dated June 19, 2009, on behalf of the Holocaust Survivors Foundation USA, Inc. (HSF), I
would like to state that based on conversations that took place in the intervening time period between Ambassador
Eizenstat and the leadership of the HSF, and the commitments he made to our leaders, we are no longer asking that he
be replaced as the head of the U.S. delegation to the Prague Conference taking place on June 26-30.
On behalf of all of the survivors for whom we have been fighting over the last decade, including tens of thousands in
desperate need, we wish Ambassador Eizenstat the best of success as the head of the United States delegation at the
Conference, as well as in the follow-up activities that we understand will occur on matters affecting Holocaust survivors'
rights and interests.
Sincerely,
David Schaecter

Gordon survives...
The Parliamentary Labour Party meeting is just Over. Gordon has survived. The event, held in private,
was high drama and anticlimax at once. The chair asked for rebels to come forward and speak. Only
one prominent person emerged, Charles Clarke, former Home Secretary and Blairite; the rest were a
handful of about a half-dozen backbenchers. Their remarks about how Brown was bringing the party
down were poorly received. The party, after all, was in no mood for breaking ranks and rewarding
disloyalty. With this paltry showing, the opposition petered out, at least for now. Gordon then gave a
speech, strong on analysis, discussing that his government was paying the price for getting the
country through a difficult recession, suffering from the worst parliamentary crisis since Lloyd George
and still had a program to offer. He also make the point that when the party had split int he past it was
over ideology or policy and there were no stated differences presented by the opposition. So for now,
Gordon has won. Sid

Secretary Clinton's remarks at her Friday press conference with the Turkish Foreign Minister continued this
Administration's excellent efforts to restore the credibility of the U.S. with Greece and Cyprus which will lead to
important progress in the region.
As you know, the Bush Administration consistently hid and defended actions by Turkey that were injurious to Cyprus and
Greece, inconsistent with American values and principals, and also not in Turkey's best interests.
We highlighted for the top leaders in our community that Secretary Clinton once again in front of the Turkish Foreign
Minister, called for a "bi-zonal and bi-communal federation" for Cyprus as well as expressed the United States' strong
support for "freedom of religion."
With Secretary Clinton and others doing these kinds of things, America is moving to correct the biggest road block to a
Cyprus settlement restoring American credibility with the Greek-Cypriots which was badly lost during the Bush
Administration.
Keep up the great work!

Remarks With Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu

Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Treaty Room
Washington, DC
June 5, 2009
SECRETARY CLINTON: Good afternoon. Minister Davutoglu and I just had a very productive, broad-ranging, comprehensive
discussion. And it is a great privilege to welcome him here to the State Department within the very first weeks of his having been
appointed foreign minister. Of course, I was very honored to have gone to Turkey very early in my term as Secretary of State, and
President Obama had a wonderful visit to Turkey.
And all of that is to confirm the strength and importance of our partnership and alliance. We have a lot of work to do together. Turkey,
the United States, and the entire global community certainly face a great number of challenges, but we also see opportunities. So our
message coming out of the meeting today and our prior meetings is that we're going to deepen and strengthen our cooperation on an
ongoing basis, because we believe that both Turkey and the United States have unique roles to play.
B6
Now, we obviously already collaborate. Not only are we both members of NATO, but we are working with the G-20 to respond to the
global economic crisis, we're exploring ways to enhance our trade and commerce between our two countries, we're working to develop
new energy sources, including resources from the Caucasus and Central Asia. We're partners in the fight against global terrorism. We
share the goal of a stable Pakistan and Afghanistan, and to deny al-Qaida safe haven that can threaten our countries and many others.
We support Turkey in its fight against the terrorist activities of the PKK, which has been a very important cooperation.
And I underscored again today the United States' strong support for Turkey's bid to become a member of the European Union. Turkey
has made significant progress toward membership. It's been in a process of reform that is generated by its own internal decisions but
which has certainly responded to many of the concerns regarding the strength of the bid that Turkey had. And so we applaud what
Turkey has already done and pledge our efforts to continue working with Turkey.
And so we ranged across a broad number of issues, and I want to just make a special note. As President Obama said yesterday in
Cairo, the United States is committed to broad engagement with Muslims everywhere across the globe based on mutual interests and
mutual respect. We believe strongly in the freedom of religion and expression, in vibrant civil societies, and we know that
those are values that Turkey shares.
And I want to thank the minister and his government for the role that Turkey plays as a force for peace and stability. This is important,
and it's already been demonstrated in the work that Turkey has done for a number of years and continues with respect to
comprehensive peace in the Middle East. And we are strongly supportive of the Turkish efforts to normalize relations with Armenia, and
we are also very strongly supportive of the efforts to resolve the Nagomo-Karabakh conflict.
We discussed Cyprus, which is an issue that the President also addressed when he was in Turkey in April. The two Cypriot leaders
have an opportunity through their commitment to negotiations under the United Nations Good Offices Missions, and the United States is
willina to help the parties. We want to work toward a settlement that reunifies Cyprus into a bi-zonal and bi-communal federation.
We discussed many, many concerns, and I'm just grateful for the commitment by the minister and by his government to play an active
role in our dynamic world. Our relationship is not just about security; it is about seizing these opportunities, and I look forward to
working with you.

We are gathering info on the memo on the participation agreement which I will have up to you soon. It has taken a bit
to get the right people to answer the specific questions you asked about previous agreements.
In regard to the plan memo, we will have a more detailed plan for you tomorrow. We have been waiting for the
recommendations of the new structural group that was set up in NYC last Friday afternoon (Lanny, the Chamber of
Commerce, the Committee of 100, and others). We are getting a de-brief on their plans and new structure tomorrow.
In our calls to GE's Jeff Immelt, the Chamber, and others we learned that it would not be viable to get 20 CEO's into
Washington with such short notice. The Secretary called us in last Friday and said that she was game for doing some
additional calls which everyone in the business community thinks is a more efficient way to get this done. We are
holding a meeting on Friday with the business community (up to 75 Washington reps) and would follow it up with
individual assignments. We could still build an event with CEOs around late July Strategic Dialogue.
We will get you a more detailed plan with all of the potential events and assignments.

The Settlements Facts
By Daniel Kurtzer
Sunday, June 14, 2009
Faulty analysis of the Israeli settlement issue is being passed off as fact. Charles Krauthanuner's June 5 column,
"The Settlements Myth," is one example.
Here are the facts: In 2003, the Israeli government accepted, with some reservations, the "road map" for peace,
which imposed two requirements on Israel regarding settlements: "GO! [Government of Israel] immediately
dismantles settlement outposts erected since March 2001. Consistent with the Mitchell Report, GOI freezes all
settlement activity (including natural growth of settlements)."
Today, Israel maintains that three events -- namely, draft understandings discussed in 2003 between Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon and U.S. deputy national security adviser Stephen Hadley; President George W. Bush's
April 14, 2004, letter to Sharon; and an April 14 letter from Sharon adviser Dov Weissglas to national security
adviser Condoleezza Rice -- constitute a formal understanding in which the United States accepted continuing
Israeli building within the "construction line" of settlements. The problem is that there was no such
understanding.
The first event the Israelis cite is the 2003 discussions on a four-part draft that included the notion that
construction within settlements might be permitted if confined to the already built-up areas of the settlements.
The idea was to draw a line around the outer perimeter of built-up areas in settlements and to allow building
only inside that line. This draft was never codified, and no effort was made then to define the line around the
built-up areas of settlements. Nonetheless, Israel began to act largely in accordance with its own reading of
these provisions, probably believing that U.S. silence conferred assent.
Second, President Bush's 2004 letter conveyed U.S. support of an agreed outcome of negotiations in which
Israel would retain "existing major Israeli population centers" in the West Bank "on the basis of mutually
agreed changes. . . ." One of the key provisions of this letter was that U.S. support for Israel's retaining some
settlements was predicated on there being an "agreed outcome" of negotiations. Despite Israel's contention that
this letter allowed it to continue building in the large settlement blocs of Ariel, Maale Adumim and Gush
Etzion, the letter did not convey any U.S. support for or understanding of Israeli settlement activities in these or
other areas in the run-up to a peace agreement.
In his 2004 letter to Rice, Weissglas addressed the issue of the "construction line," saying that "within the
agreed principles of settlement activities, an effort will be made in the next few days to have a better definition
of the construction line of settlements in Judea & Samaria." However, there never were any "agreed principles
of settlement activities." Moreover, the effort to define the "construction line" was never consummated: Israel
and the United States discussed briefly but did not reach agreement on the definition of the construction line of
settlements. Weissglas's letter also promised "continuous action" to remove all the unauthorized outposts, but
Israel removed almost none of them.
Throughout this period, the Bush administration did not regularly protest Israel's continuing settlement activity.
But this is very different from arguing that the United States agreed with it. In recent days, former senior Bush
administration officials have told journalists on background that no understandings existed with Israel regarding
continued settlement activity.
Commentators also focus on the Obama administration's reiteration that a freeze must include the "natural
growth" of settlements. Krauthammer says that this "means strangling to death the thriving towns close to the
1949 armistice line. . . It means no increase in population. Which means no babies." This is nonsense. No one
suggests that Israelis stop having babies. Rather, the blessing of a new baby does not translate into a right to
build more apartments or houses in settlements. The two issues have nothing to do with each other. Israelis, like
Americans, move all the time when life circumstances -- children, jobs, housing availability -- change.
The pattern of population growth in the territories actually undercuts the natural-growth argument. Since 1993,
when Israel signed the Oslo Accords, Israel's West Bank settler population has grown from 116,300 to 289,600.
The numbers in East Jerusalem increased from 152,800 to more than 186,000. This goes far beyond the natural
increase of families already living in the settlements. Inserting the provision of "natural growth" in official
documents started with the 2001 Mitchell Report and the 2003 "road map," reflecting recognition that the
concept was being abused as a justification for expanding settlements. The Obama administration is pursuing
policies that every administration since 1967 has articulated -- that settlements jeopardize the possibility of
achieving peace and thus settlement activity should stop. This does not diminish the Palestinians'
responsibilities, especially their commitment to stop violence and terrorism and uproot terrorist infrastructure.
President Obama emphasized this in his Cairo speech. But Palestinian failures in no" way justify Israeli failure to
implement their road map commitments with respect to settlements and outposts. It is time for Israel to freeze
all settlement activity and dismantle the unauthorized outposts.

Twitter delays down time to aid Iranian protesters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department contacted the social networking service Twitter over
the weekend to urge it to delay a planned upgrade that could have cut daytime service to Iranians, a U.S.
official said on Tuesday.
"We highlighted to them that this was an important form of communication," said the official of the
conversation the department had with Twitter at the time of the disputed Iranian election. He declined
further details.

FYI, Gary Sick's latest analysis on Iran below (posted on his blog). Sick has independent sources and
is very well informed.
June 17, 2009

Is this another Iranian revolution?
To someone who has watched and studied the Iranian revolution of 1979 with fascination, developments
in Iran today have an eerie reminiscence. Then there were massive protests that filled the streets, often
marching in dignified but ominous silence; there was bloodshed as nervous security men with guns faced
determined but unarmed crowds; there were sullen mourning parades;20there were catchy chants and
ritual calls of "Down with the shah!"; at night the rooftops rang with shouts of allahu akbar.
You need only change "shah" to "dictator," and you have a description of what is happening in Iran
today.
But there is one very big difference. Thirty years ago, Iran had a charismatic cleric named Ayatollah
Khomeini who had a refined sense of strategy and a willingness to risk everything for the cause he
represented. On the other side was Mohammed Reza Shah, who had been on the throne for some 37
years and who commanded one of the most powerful military and security regimes in the world. On the
surface it appeared to be an uneven battle guns against turbans but the ruler with the guns wavered
and the turbans grew in size and confidence until the old order collapsed.
Today the nominal leader of the opposition forces is a reformed radical, Mir Hossein Mousavi, who is
notably lacking in personal charisma. On the other side is the constitutional Leader, Ayatollah
IChamene' i, who is widely perceived as a cautious political animal with limited qualifications for his
religious post and who compensates for his own lack of charisma by manipulation of the political system
and the institutions most loyal to him particularly the politically minded clergy and the powerful
security forces, including the Revolutionary Guards.
Neither of these men seems to be fully in control of their own forces, let alone the situation. The
fraudulent election defeat of Mousavi was a triggering event, but the energy behind these unprecedented
demonstrations is due more to the sense of outrage and betrayal at the gross manipulation of numbers by
the regime than it is about any undying devotion to Mousavi. Yesterday Mousavi ordered that people
stay home in face of a conflicting pro-regime demonstration. They marched anyway (and the daughter of
former president Rafsanjani joined them and urged them on). Mousavi then "ordered" everyone to
march the following day (which they were probably going to do with or without his orders).
IChamene'i announced the "divine assessment" of the election outcome even before it would probably
have been physically possible to count the more than 40 million ballots. Then, in the face of mass protests,
he ordered an investigation of the results by the Guardian Council the same organization that was
responsible for managing the election in the first place. No one believed him in either case, and no one
expected anything of importance from the Guardian Council. Khamene'i has ordered peace and
reconciliation. No one paid any attention.
I deliberately did not mention president-elect Ahmadinejad. After celebrating his "victory," he went off
to a largely symbolic meeting in Moscow. He seems to be out of the decision loop and more of a passive
player than a major actor in these events.
So who is calling the shots? Mousavi seems to be running along after the crowd, not leading it. But that is
probably all that is required to keep the protest in motion.
On the other side, the very little evidence we have suggests that the important decisions are being made
by the ultra-conservative leadership of the Revolutionary Guards, whose political role has ballooned over
the past decade, perhaps in cooperation with their extremist counterparts in the clergy. They are utterly
ruthless and ideologically fueled.
New York Times columnist Nick Kristoff reminded us several days ago (see blog item on June 15 below)
at the end of the day, as I saw at Tiananmen 20 years ago, when Might and Right do battle, it's often prudent
to bet on Might, at least in the short run.
The regime seems to have miscalculated badly. They seemed to believe that a sudden coup the
announcement of dramatic election results followed by a show of force would intimidate and silence the
opposition and consolidate their control. That is perhaps more understandable if the decisions were being
made by military leaders who tend to see the battle in Manichaean terms, rather than politicians such as
IChamene'i who are accustomed to seeing shades of gray. In any event, it b ackfired and they now have a
much larger crisis on their hands than if they had simply arranged for Ahmadinejad to win by a slim
margin (which was at least believable).
All parties are now in uncharted territory. A significant portion of the Iranian population seems to have
concluded that their social contract with the rulers accepting Islamic rule in return for a respectful
regard for the opinion of the governed, an Islamic Republic is no longer valid. They do not trust their
rulers.
The rulers, whose support has been declining for years in the face of their own inept management of the
country, are increasingly replacing popular support with repression. This election seems to have called
that tactic into question. For the military, the obvious answer is more repression. So it would appear to
be a moment to bet on Might.
But nobody is fully in command of events. Decisions taken in the next weeks will be fateful and could
determine the future path of the Iranian revolution.
There is another lesson as Iran's leaders contemplate a Tiananmen moment. When the Tiananmen
crackdown occurred almost exactly ten years ago, one of the leaders of China at the time was Zhao
Ziyang, General Secretary of the Communist Party. He was later fired and placed under house arrest.
His smuggled memoirs have just appeared, revealing the depth of disagreements within the lea dership
about how to proceed.
Is it possible that ten years from now we will have a volume describing the intense debates that one can
only presume are underway today in the highest councils of the Islamic Republic of Iran?

Day of Mourning, Protests, Called by Mousavi on Thursday
Mir-Hosain Mousavi, who maintains he won last Friday's presidential election despite official assertions that he
lost 2 to 1 to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is calling for another rally Thursday, this time in part to honor the
persons killed by hardliners or security forces in the course of previous demonstrations.
Mourning the martyr is as central to Iranian Shiite religious culture as it was to strains of medieval Catholicism
in Europe, and Mousavi's camp is tapping into a powerful set of images and myths here. The archetypal Shiite
martyr is Imam Husayn, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, who championed oppressed Muslims in Iraq
and was cut down by the then Umayyad Muslim Empire. Redognition that a Muslim state might commit the
ultimate in sacrilege by beheading a person who had been dangled on the Prophet's knee has imbued modern
political Shiism with a distrust of the state. When Husayn's head was brought to the Umayyad caliph Yazid and
deposited before his throne, older companions of the Prophet are said to have wept and remarked, "I saw the
Prophet's lips on those cheeks." Shiites ritually march, flagellate, and chant in honor of the martyred Imam or
divinely-appointed leader.
Today's protesters are wearing green, which symbolizes Mousavi's descent from the Prophet Muhammad.
(Mousavi's family name refers to the Seventh Imam (descendant of the Prophet with claims to divine
knowledge), Musa Kazim, whose tomb is in Kazimiya, north Baghdad. Sayyid families, those claiming descent
from the Prophet, often take one of the Imams' names as a family name to honor them, though of course they
are also claiming descent from the previous Imams right back to the Prophet.) The repertoires of protest the
reformists are using echo those of the 1978-79 Islamic Revolution-- they are chanting "God is Great," mourning
pious fallen martyrs, etc.-- another sign that this movement is not just alienated secularized elites.
But now Mousavi's his supporters are also sporting black ribbons to indicate that they are in mourning for the
fallen. Typically, the dead will be commemorated again at one month and at 40 days. In 1978 such
demonstrations for those killed in previous demonstrations grew in size all through the year, till they reached an
alleged million in the streets of Tehran. Since the reformists are already claiming Monday's rally was a million,
you wonder where things will go from here.
The regime's attempt to paint the protesters as nothing more than US intelligence agents underlines how wise
President Obama has been not to insert himself forcefully into the situation in Iran. The reformers and the hard
liners are not stable groupings. The core of each is competing for the allegiance of the general Iranian public. If
the reformers can convince most Iranians of the justice of their cause, they will swing behind the opposition. If
the hard liners can convince the public that the reformers are nothing more than cat's paws of a grasping,
imperialist West-- i.e. that they are Ahmad Chalabis trying to bring Iran foreign occupation so as to get power
themselves-- then the reformists will be crushed. Iranians value national independence above all, having
suffered with a CIA-installed goverment for decades in the mid-twentieth century.
The prescriptions of John McCain and Faux Cable news for muscular US diplomacy at this point are tone deaf
to Iranian realities and would backfire big time, harming both the reform cause and US interests. Anyway, after
the basket case to which the US Republican Party reduced Iraq, no one in the global South is likely to want
them meddling in their internal affairs.
Reports are streaming in of the arrest of over a hundred opposition figures and of hard line militia men
following protesters home and breaking into their homes to terrorize them. See e.g., Basij paramilitary forces
terrorize residential complex. The Basij militiamen are said to be afraid to come out in numbers during the
opposition demonstrations, but sneak around at night to trail protesters and harass or arrest them.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had met Tuesday morning with the representatives of all four presidential
candidates, urging them to make up but continuing to insist that Alunadinejad was the winner by 24 million to
14 million votes. He portrayed the massive post-election demonstrations and charges of ballot fraud as a minor
tiff.
Gary Sick wonders if Khamenei really is the supreme leader any more, and hints that the hard line tack of
stealing the election was directed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the country's religious national
guard.
Reports are coming in from Iran that allege that the regime is tracking down and destroying satellite dishes,
using helicopters for aerial surveillance of neighborhoods and Basij, the right wing militia (sort of like
Mussolini's Black Shirts) to do the breaking and entering. Kindly neighbors who have tried to warn suspected
satellite dish owners that the militiamen were coming have sometimes reportedly themselves been arrested.

More Gay Donors Drop Out of DNC Fundraiser, Protesting Justice Department Brief
June 18, 2009 2:30 PM
"This is not appropriate time" for the Democratic party to be hitting up gays and lesbians for money, says
Richard Socarides, a former Special Assistant to President Clinton, who's not attending next week's lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee.
Socarides tells ABC News that many members of the LGBT community are troubled by a brief filed by
President Obama's Justice Department last week that argued. too vociferously, many believe against
same sex marriage.
"The brief was very troubling to a lot of people and rightfully so," Socarides says. "Supporters of the
Democratic party and others who feel that gay and lesbian equality is an important issue for this administration
to address are rightly concerned about this brief. Serious issues still need clarification."
Socarides says that even though President Obama yesterday signed a presidential memorandum extending
some benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees, he was also aware of what the President did not do.
"The president did not last night address what direction he would give the Justice Department when these issues
come up in the future, he did not address the continued discharges of gay people from the military."
Socarides is just the latest in a list of prominent gay and lesbian Democrats withdrawing their
support from the DNC event. Others include David Mixner, another former adviser to President Clinton; Andy
Towle; and Alan Van Capelle, executive director of the Empire State Pride Agenda and Foundation.
And you can, as John Aravosis notes, add Vermont state senate president pro tern Peter Shumlin to the list of
prominent gay and lesbian Democrats who will not be attending.
"One thing I have learned dealing with marriage equality in Vermont is that we all have a responsibility to stand
up for the civil rights of all Americans," Shumlin said yesterday, according to the Times-Argus. "This
memo from the Justice Department is more Bush than Bush. It takes the only minority group left in America
that national politicians can publicly discriminate against and still see their numbers go up in the polls and it
reinforces the horrible stereotypes about our friends and neighbors."
And add gay Democratic donor Bruce Bastian, who told the Washington Blade he "will continue to support
certain congressmen, congresswomen and senators whom I believe will continue to fight for our rights, but I
don't think blanket donations to the Democratic Party right now are justified, at least not in my book." He said
he found the filing "very offensive."
"The administration has said they have to support the federal government's stance," he said. "But in the brief,
they go way beyond where they need to go to just defend DOMA. They basically go to terminology and
language that you would expect from the Bush administration, not the Obama administration."
Others include National Gal, and Lesbian Task Force executive director Rea Carey who decried "the
malicious and outrageous arguments and language used in the Department of Justice's marriage brief are only
serving to inflame and malign the humanity of same-sex couples and our families," and the Human Rights
Campaign's national field director Marty Rouse, who told the Blade that he "like many people, personally
offended by the words used in the [Justice Department] brief to defend DOMA. And I just can't see right now
attending a fundraiser for the DNC at this time."

pick for Protocol Post Corrects Failure to File Taxes in 2

Years
By ALISON LEIGH COWAN
The New York Times

June 19,2009
President Obama's choice as chief of protocol for the State Department, a position that carries the
status of an ambassadorship, did not file tax returns for 2005 and 2006, errors she corrected last
November.
The nominee, Capricia Penavic Marshall, has placed blame for the problem on the Postal Service and
on miscommunication between her husband and their accountant.
Ms. Marshall, who was a social secretary in the Clinton White House, notified the Obama
administration about the late filings before she was nominated on May 14. She has since provided
written answers to questions about the matter from Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, the top
Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, which will hold a hearing on the appointment next
Wednesday. The post requires Senate confirmation.
Tax issues have bedeviled several high-level Obama appointees and cost the administration at least
two of its picks.
in
Ms. Marshall, a graduate of Case Western Reserve University School of Law, may fare better because,
after ultimately filing the 2005 and 2006 federal and local paperwork, she was entitled to $37,259 in
refunds, according to information she provided to Mr. Lugar.
The nominee and her husband, Dr. Robert Marshall, a Washington cardiologist, did not return calls
seeking comment, nor did a White House spokesman.
Besides the president's support, Ms. Marshall appears to enjoy the strong endorsement of Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Bill Clinton. Ms. Marshall worked on their
campaigns and was most recently executive director of Mrs. Clinton's political action committee,
Hillpac.
In her written answers and in accounts she gave to government officials, Ms. Marshall has said the
errors were inadvertent. She has said that her husband failed to recognize that the couple's
accountant had included the tax returns for 2005 in a binder he provided with copies of the returns,
and that the actual paperwork was never mailed.
The couple learned something was awry, Ms. Marshall has said, when the Internal Revenue Service
notified them last fall that their 2006 return had never arrived. She wrote that an agent "advised us
that there were a large number of tax returns misplaced by the D.C. post office for the 2006 tax year."
That call led the couple to the discovery that the authorities had no record of their returns for 2005
and 2006. No late fees or penalties were assessed when they later submitted the returns.
The protocol chief customarily helps plan events for visiting leaders and helps oversee protocol
matters for the president and vice president abroad.

Elise Labott
CNN State Department Producer
Yesterday's groundbreaking move by President Obama to provide some benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees came to
fruition in large part due to Secretary of Clinton, who first put the issue on the table.
It is unclear whether the Obama administration came to office planning to offer government-wide benefits to domestic partners of civil
service employees, but Clinton, a longtime advocate of gay rights, was on it day one. Since President Obama named her as his pick for
Secretary of State in November, Clinton's transition staff and the State Department had been working with members of the American
Foreign Service Association and the group GLIFAA (Gays & Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies) on what could be done to extend
benefits to domestic partners of diplomats serving abroad.
At her very first senior staff meeting Clinton instructed the State Department to review whether she had the authority to extend
benefits to same-sex domestic partners. About a week later a gay employee asked Clinton during a town hall with employees to
eliminate discrimination against same sex partners. The Secretary of State drew loud applause when she said the issue was "of real
concern" to her, and that she was already working on it.
Several weeks ago, a memo to employees from Clinton instituting the changes was leaked to the press. Clinton's aides at the time said
the memo was a draft, and that Clinton couldn't change policies without an "interagency review" of the issue to make sure State
Department actions wouldn't negatively affect other agencies. But the memo seemed to light a fire under the administration, which
quickly caught up to Clinton's lead.
12
Still, the health benefits announced Wednesday for same sex partners of non-State Department civil employees is a drop in the bucket
compared to the long list of other benefits the State Department extended to the gay partners of US diplomats serving abroad. In
addition to health benefits and access to medical and emergency evacuation, domestic partners will also get diplomatic passports,
training at the Foreign Service Institute and housing allowances. Same sex partners will get the same preference for US embassy jobs
that spouses currently enjoy, and the State Department will now work with foreign governments to provide same-sex domestic
partners, to the extent possible, with diplomatic visas, work permits and other privileges, including diplomatic immunity. The State
Department will even pay for them to fly home if a relative is gravely ill. Few of these benefits are currently offered to domestic
partners.
Although the Foreign Service has difference rules and regulations which allow the State Department to do more in the first place,
Clinton extended the full range of legally available benefits and allowances to same sex partners of members of the Foreign Service.
In a statement issued Thursday acknowledging the support partners provide to overseas posts, Clinton said, "domestic partners of
federal employees have for too long been treated unequally."
Clinton knows the move is also good business. Today's US diplomats serving around the world are increasingly having to shed their
pinstripe suits and get dirty in the field, which requires a whole different skill set. These days the State Department is competing for
the same Arabic and Farsi speakers and technology gurus as top notch multinational companies, where domestic partner benefits and
allowances are increasingly the norm. Clinton herself noted if the State Department wants to remain a "word class employer" which
attracts and retains high caliber personnel, the change is "the smart thing to do."

Subject: Stanford Law Connection
Hi Cheryl. You may not remember me, but we were at Stanford together. I saw a statement from you on
CNN.com regarding Secretary Clinton's fractured elbow, so I went to our global address list, and voilathere
you are! You were a year or two ahead of me (I was class of 1991), but I distinctly remember being in Crim
Pro with you when the inimitable Barbara Babcock talked about your "friend" Wynton Marsalis being stopped
by the police!
Congratulations on your current position. You are really doing Stanford proudI was watching the Clinton
impeachment hearings with friends when you were testifying and shouted, "Oh my GodI went to law school
with her!"
I can't tell you how thrilled we in the field are to have an administration we can be proud of again (I came in
during Bill Clinton's presidency, and it has been a rough eight years). As you may be learning, Foreign Service
Officers are overwhelmingly liberal democrats. At my post of 20 American officers, there are only two avowed
republicans (although there may be a few closet cases). We all watched the election returns together, and we
cheered, cried and hugged when Mr. Obama was announced the winner. Obviously, we are also thrilled to
have Hillary as our new Secretary of State.
I tried to write Secretary Clinton a message when she first announced benefits for same-sex partners
expressing my extreme gratitude. I have been with my partner for the last 14 years, and he has basically given
up his career to follow me around the world. It has been challenging but we've managed to survive. Below is
my original message, which I doubt Secretary Clinton ever actually received:

Partner Benefits - A personal thank you from the field
I'm not sure whether this message will ever find its way to Secretary Clinton, but I would like to convey my deep gratitude
for her courage in extending benefits to same-sex partners of Foreign Service Officers. I would also like to share how her
decision has literally changed the course of my career.
I had decided long ago to retire in 2014 after twenty years of service. I love my job as a Management Officer, but my
partner and I had grown tired of struggling with a bureaucracy that essentially denied his existence. I had planned to
lc
follow his career as an academic, where I could be officially recognized as his partner and receive benefits through his
employer.
The announcement that the State Department will now extend benefits to same-sex partners has made us re-evaluate our
future plans. After several long discussions over the past few days, we have decided that I will stay in the Foreign Service
indefinitely and my partner will follow me, finding teaching jobs wherever I am posted. This is not only about the benefits
themselves, which are of course most welcome. It is also the fact that my partner, who has been officially invisible all of
these years, is now recognized and respected as an equal member of the Foreign Service family.
I have much more to contribute to the Service, and I look forward to a long and successful career with my partner at my
side. Once again, my heartfelt thanks to Secretary Clinton for making our dream a reality.
Best regards,
B6
If you ever have the chance, I would very much appreciate it if you could thank Secretary Clinton on my
behalf. As I said in my letter, the extension of benefits to my partner has made me decide to stay in the
Foreign Service. I don't mean to be immodest, but I'm a good officerand the Foreign Service will get the
benefit of my talents for many years to come thanks to Secretary Clinton!
Again, congratulations on your illustrious career.

They want the Secretary will make some positive reference to Berlusconi in
Italy this summer of their interest in working the GOI to build a

The Secretary is hoping you can schedule a meeting with the President of the University of Pittsburgh Medical
Center. He is working on a project with the Italians and is seeking some guidance. I included some background below.
Please let me know if you are available for a meeting and I'll connect you with them. Thanks!
UPMC's Relationship with Italy:

UPMC has a long and successful track record in Italy. More than a decade ago, UPMC entered into a publicprivate partnership in Italy, and in collaboration with the region of Sicily and two existing
hospitals, established a major transplant and specialty care hospital. The construction of the
18
facility, ("ISMETT") was funded by the government and UPMC , which oversaw the
construction and continues to manage it. It has been a great success - bringing transplantation and
specialized services to Sicily, reducing costs to the nation of "exporting" patients who need transplants, and as
an economic driver for the region. Based on the success of ISMETT, UPMC is now working with
the Italian government and an alliance of educational institutions to construct RIMED, a Biomedical Research
and Biotechnology Center (BRBC) outside of Palermo, which will focus on sparking a
biotechnology/regenerative medicine sector in the region. (Please see attached RiMED document.) The
government has appropriated 330 million Euros for this initiative. Further, UPMC is a consultant to the Italian
Government and is in negotiations with the regional governments in Milan and Florence. Our international
offices are in Rome.
UPMC's Relationship with Prime Minister Berlusconi:

(a.) UPMC has had a long term and stable relationship in Italy over the past ten years, including two
governments led by Prime Minister Berlusconi. He is knowledgeable about UPMC, as is Giarmi Letta, Italian
Council of Ministry Under Secretary.
(b.) The RiMED initiative was conceived during his previous term of office and in 2005, the letter of intent for
RiMED was personally signed by Prime Minister Berlusconi and Mr. Jeffrey A. Romoff, President of UPMC.
(c.) It was under the Berlusconi administration that the decision was made to fund RiMED and 330 million
Euros were appropriated for this purpose. Mr. Romoff participated in a press conference at Palazzo Chigi
with the Prime Minister.
(d.) Recently, because of the devastating earthquake and the economic downturn, the resources to fund
RiMED have become constrained, but it is felt this is simply an issue of an unexpected contingency, rather than
any lack of interest and support.
(e.) Mr. Romoff has met with Prime Minister Berlusconi several times and is fluent in Italian.
(f .) Many of the significant political figures in Sicily are very closely associated with the Prime Minister and
his party and the importance of UPMC to the Region and potentially to Italy is reinforced.
UPMC's Proposed 21CB:

We are
pursuing funding for a flexible, multi-product biologics facility in Southwestern PA, to develop and
manufacture vaccines and therapeutic drugs as a defense against our nation's gravest threat: the Pandemic
spread of diseases and diseases used by bioterrorists as weapons of mass destruction. Thanks
to the tremendous help from our partners, Governor Rendell and Senator Arlen Specter, we have garnered
wide spread support from many across the executive Branch and Congress including Vice President Biden and
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. We will have the opportunity to brief DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano on
June 15th. The economic impact to the region would be unparalleled, resulting in approximately 1000 direct
jobs and up to 6000 indirect jobs, all the while reducing production costs to the U. S. Government by 80
%. (Please see attached 21st Century Biodefense document.)
UPMC's Proposal for the Italian Government:
10
Prime Minister Berlusconi is very much tied to the American agenda and would likely be interested in
developing and funding a companion vaccine manufacturing facility- (600 million Euros,) under UPMC
management, which would serve not only to enhance the strategic defense relationship between Italy and the
United States, but also demonstrate that the Prime Minister is responsive to the increasing public concern
regarding H1N1. It can be an economic driver to both countries, as well. Italy has close ties in the
Mediterranean basin and northern Africa, in particular, and producing vaccines for these countries is desirable
in keeping with the new US. Global Health Care Initiative. Thus, for both substantive and strategic/political
reasons, the 21CB vaccine facility should be exceedingly attractive to Italy.
As importantly, the economic gains for UPMC and the western region of Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) are
very significant. As the largest employer in western Pa. , the Region depends on UPMC's
economic vitality. Excess revenue (profits) gained from exporting the intellectual and managerial capital
cultivated and developed in Pittsburgh to Italy and abroad, serve to create jobs and growth at home. Given
the unique expertise of UPMC and the international focus on health care reform, this is potentially a multibillion dollar export industry bring both funds and prestige to the United States.

Times Reporter Held by Taliban Escapes

By THE NEW YORK TIMES
A New York Times reporter who was kidnapped by the Taliban has escaped and made his
way to freedom after more than seven months of captivity in the mountains of Afghanistan
and Pakistan.
David Rohde, along with a local reporter, Tahir Ludin and their driver, Asadullah Mangal,
were abducted outside of Kabul on Nov. 10 while Mr. Rohde was researching a book.
Mr. Rohde was part of the Times reporting team that won a Pulitzer Prize in May for
coverage of Afghanistan and Pakistan last year.
Mr. Rohde told his wife, Kristen Mulvihill, that Mr. Ludin joined him late Friday night in
climbing over the wall of a compound where they were being held in the North Waziristan
region of Pakistan. They found a Pakistani army scout, who led them to a nearby army
base, and on Saturday they were flown to the American Bagram military base in
Afghanistan.
"They just walked over the wall of the compound," said Ms. Muvihill.
Mr. Mangal did not escape with the two other men.
The initial report was that Mr. Rohde was in good health, while Mr. Ludin injured his foot
in the escape.
25
Until now, the kidnapping has been kept quiet by The Times and other media
organizations out of concern for the men's safety.
"From the early days of this ordeal, the prevailing view among David's family, experts in
kidnapping cases, officials of several governments and others we consulted was that going
public could increase the danger to David and the other hostages. The kidnappers initially
said as much," said Bill Keller, the executive editor of The Times. "We decided to respect
that advice, as we have in other kidnapping cases, and a number of other news
organizations that learned of David's plight have done the same. We are enormously
grateful for their support."
Since the men were abducted, there has been sporadic communication from them and
from the kidnappers.
Ms. Mulvihill expressed relief at the end of the ordeal and gratitude to the many people
official and unofficial who offered information, advice and support.
"The family is so grateful to everyone who has helped the New York Times, the U.S.
government, all the others. Now we just hope to have a chance to reunite with him in
peace," she said.
"We've been married nine months," Ms. Mulvihill added. "And seven of those, David has
been in captivity."
Both Mr. Keller and Mr. Rohde's family declined to discuss details of the efforts to free the
captives, except to say that no ransom money was paid and no Taliban or other prisoners
were released.
"Kidnapping, tragically, is a flourishing industry in much of the world," Mr. Keller said.
"As other victims have told us, discussing your strategy just offers guidance for future
kidnappers."
Mr. Rohde, 41, had traveled to Kabul in early November to work on a book about the
history of American involvement in Afghanistan when he was invited to interview a
Taliban commander. Before setting out, Mr. Rohde instructed The Times's bureau in
Kabul on whom to notify if he did not return. He also indicated that he believed the
interview was important and that he would be all right.
Mr. Rohde joined The Times staff in 1996 after winning a Pulitzer Prize in international
reporting for documenting the massacre of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica.

The Myth of the $12 Million Uighur

. By STUART BECK
CONGRATULATIONS Palau. Our little country, a group of islands 500 miles east of the Philippines, has become, if only
briefly, a household word. President Obama, much admired in Palau, asked our new president, Johnson Toribiong, to do
the United States a favor: Please accept, as refugees, a group of innocent Chinese Muslims. They are not anti-American
terrorists, but victims of human rights violations, who landed at Guantanamo Bay for seven years. Innocent, stateless,
harmless.
President Toribiong, a lawyer trained at the University of Washington and a highly regarded litigator, told President
Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that he needed to assure his people that the Uighurs were indeed harmless,
and could be integrated into Palau's small, diverse and friendly culture. Assuming that this due diligence brought
satisfactory results, Palau would be pleased to give the refugees temporary residence. Last weekend, he dispatched a
number of officials to Guantanamo to interview the Uighurs and review their records.
One would have thought that this positive gesture of friendship from a staunch American ally would have been applauded,
at least in the United States. Instead, for reasons that are beyond me, unattributed leaks and unsubstantiated rumors have
twisted Palau's act of decency into another grab for dollars by a cunning third-world country. In breaking the story that
Palau was amenable to President Obama's request, the Associated Press reported that two anonymous State Department
officials had linked Palau's acceptance of the Uighurs to a $200 million payoff.
Almost immediately, much of the news media took the bait, did the math and asserted that Palau was getting nearly $12
million dollars per Uighur. Within a day or two, The Wall Street Journal was pontificating against a shakedown.
Before the story gets too far out of hand, let's consider a few facts. It is true that the United States and Palau have an
economic relationship. Palau has been receiving American aid since it was wrested from the Japanese in 1944. (Over the
past 15 years, this has averaged about $56 million a year.) This aid has come with strings; as the United States has always
insisted that the Palauan government be ready to promptly turn over land for bases should the security of the United
States or Palau require it.
In 1994, the two countries agreed to a 50-year option that allows the United States to use Palau for military purposes. That
agreement's economic terms expire in October 2009, and a new economic package for the remaining 35 years is in the
works and has been for some time. But there has never been a mention of $200 million. And no one has even hinted at
linking the deal to Palau's acceptance of the Uighurs. The United States simply offered to pay relocation costs for the
Uighurs of less than $90,000 per person to cover transportation, food, housing and medical help until the men can get
oriented and get jobs.
Palau is a small and peaceful community. Its constitution bans weapons of all kinds. Capital crimes are virtually unknown.
Social life revolves around the family. Children wander from house to house. Could anyone believe that the leaders of
Palau would risk the safety and serenity of their modern Eden in exchange for money? Is it plausible that these close-knit
people would countenance the presence of terrorists in their midst? I can assure you the answer is no.
Last week, the Palauans lowered their flags to half-staff in memory of Sgt. Jasper Obakrairur, a Palauan who joined the
United States Marines and died on June 1 helping to root out the Taliban in Afghanistan. He was the fourth Palauan
serviceman to die in recent years, following his fallen comrades in American uniform Cpl. JayGee Meluat, Cpl.
Meresebang Ngiraked and Specialist Philton Ueld. The people of Palau are very proud of them, and of our country's special
relationship with the United States. Can't Americans be proud of the relationship, too?
Stuart Beck is Palau's permanent representative to the United Nations.

Hillary... few things. Sid
Dear Hillary,
Hope you are resting comfortably. Please take this as an excuse to get much needed rest. Lots of
people have expressed best wishes for you to me--Sean Wilentz, Joe Conason, Gene Lyons, etc--so
if they haven't contacted you because you're behind a wall you should know that many, many people
are thinking about you now.
I spoke this morning to Gary Sick, who, you recall, was senior person on NSC during the Iran hostage
crisis, and is now at Columbia. He has one of the best intelligence networks on Iran, 1,500 people,
experts with extensive contacts, and many Iranians, deeply embedded in the unfolding events
Gary tells me that Mousavi has evolved from a mild-mannered
reformer to directly challenging the regime. Nobody, he says, knows where this will go, certainly not
the Iranians. Khamenei has exposed himself and lost his aura of mystification, plunging into the arena
as a political player. Mousavi has issued a new revolutionary manifesto, just translated; I enclose
below Sick's report and analysis on it. This poses, Sick says, a new challenge to Khamenei. Does he
let it stand? Does he answer it? Sick also says US diplomacy in fact can't accomplish anything with
the regime until the crisis completely works its way out, which could take years. He points out that the
first mass demonstrations against the Shah occurred a full year before his overthrow. He adds that
the one thing the regime has learned fro m the Shah is not to be equivocal toward demonstrations.
Two ideas, who knows, but here they are: 1. Though the regime uses Western protests to consolidate
control, some of them contribute to its deep crisis of legitimacy. Sick says Obama's statement, for
example, was good. He also cites a statement from Ban Ki Moon. If there would be a UN action,
shouldn't it focus ont he human rights/violence aspect? A statement and/or resolution urging the
regime to stop illegitimate violence of paramilitary militias? US shouldn't initiate. 2. Establish linkage
in negotiations with Russians on Start between their objections to missile defense outposts in Poland
and Czech Republic (especially if we plan to give them up) with Russian arms sales to Iran.
Get well. See Sick analysis below.

New Revolutionary Manifesto

June 21, 2009 I 10:51am
L
Alfred, Sipa / AP Photo The Iranian protest movement reached a tipping point today, writes Gary Sick,
the key White House offical during the 1979 hostage crisis, and what has emerged is nothing short of a platform for
a true Islamic democracy.
Plus, read more insight on Iran's election from other Daily Beast writers.
Today, Mir Hossein Mousavi, the presidential candidate who has come to represent the democratic aspirations
of the Iranian people, issued a formal statement.
Although he denounces the "lies and fraud" of the leadership, particularly in the recent election, he views the
fraudulent election as only as the symptom of something far more serious. He describes a revolution gone
wrong, a revolution that was originally based on attention to the voice of the peo ple but has resulted in "forcing
an unwanted government on the nation."
It is apparent from this statement that Mousavi's movementand Mousavi himselfhave evolved enormously
in the past week.
This moment is "a turning point," he says, and he defines the movement that is forming around him as having a
"historical mission" to accomplish nothing less than "renewing the life of the nation" according to its own
ideals.
He acknowledges, interestingly, that his own voice at the beginning was less "eloquent" than he would have
wished and that the people were ahead of him in turning the movement green. But now he accepts the "burden
of duty put on our shoulders by the destiny of generations and ages."
He denounces both extremes of the political spectrum: on one hand those who believe that "Islamic government
is the same as Tyranny of the Rightful;" and on the other, those who "consider religion and Islam to be blockers
for realization of republicanism," i.e. those who believe that democracy is incompatible with Islam.
Mousavi says his call for annulment of the election and a revote, supervised by an impartial national body, "is a
given right." The objective is nothing less than "to achieve a new type of political life in the country."
That is truly a revolutionary statement. He says he will stand by the side of all those seeking "new solutions" in
a n on-violent way. He accepts the principles and the institutions of the Islamic Republic, including the
Revolutionary Guard and the basij, but denounces "deviations and deceptions." He demands reform "that
returns us to the pure principles of the Islamic Revolution."
He calls for freedom of expression in all its forms, and says that if the government permits people to express
their views freely, "there won't be a need for the presence of military and regulatory forces in the streets."
It is apparent from this statement that Mousavi's movementand Mousavi himselfhave evolved enormously
in the past week. The candidate started as a mild-mannered reformer. After the searing events of the past several
days, he has dared to preach a counter sermon to Khamene'i's lecture on Islamic government. Although he never
mentions the Leader by name, there is no overlooking the direct contradiction of his arguments. This open
opposition to the Leader by a political figure is unprecedented.
Mousavi has in fact issued a manifesto for a new vision of the Islamic Republic. The repression and disdain of
the government has brought the opposition to a place they probably never dreamed of going. And no one knows
where any of the parties are likely to go next.
But for outside observers, it is like standing on the edge of a glacier and feeling the ice begin to crack under
your feet.

Preliminary Analysis of Voting Figures in Iran's 2009 Presidential Election
www.chathamhouse.org.uk 2
Executive Summary
Working from the province by province breakdowns of the 2009 and 2005
results, released by the Iranian Ministry of Interior, and from the 2006 census
as published by the official Statistical Centre of Iran, the following observations
about the official data and the debates surrounding it can be made.
In two conservative provinces, Mazandaran and Yazd, a turnout of
more than 100% was recorded.
At a provincial level, there is no correlation between the increased
turnout and the swing to Ahmadinejad. This challenges the notion that
Ahmadinejad's victory was due to the massive participation of a
previously silent conservative majority.
In a third of all provinces, the official results would require that
Ahmadinejad took not only all former conservative voters, all former
centrist voters, and all new voters, but also up to 44% of former
Reformist voters, despite a decade of conflict between these two
groups.
In 2005, as in 2001 and 1997, conservative candidates, and
Ahmadinejad in particular, were markedly unpopular in rural areas.
That the countryside always votes conservative is a myth. The claim
that this year Ahmadinejad swept the board in more rural provinces
flies in the face of these trends.
1. Irregularities in Voter Turnout
Two provinces show a turnout of over 100% and four more show a turnout of
over 90%. Regional variations in participation have disappeared. There is no
correlation between the increase in participation, and the swing to
Ahm adinejad.
Firstly, across the board there is a massive increase in turnout, with several
provinces increasing their participation rate by nearly 75%. This increase
results in substantially less variation in turnout between provinces, with the
standard deviation amongst provincial turnouts falling by just over 23% since
2005. The 2005 results show a substantial turnout gap, with seven provinces
recording turnout below 60%, and ten above 70%. In 2009, only two were
below 70% and 24 were above 80%. In fact, 21 out of 30 provinces had
turnouts within 5% of 83%. The data seems to suggest that regional variations
in participation have suddenly disappeared.
This makes the evident lack of any sort of correlation between the provinces
that saw an increase in turnout and those that saw a swing to Ahmadinejad
(Fig.1) all the more unusual. There is no significant correlation between the
increase in participation for a given province and the swing to Ahmadinejad
(Fig.1). This lack of correlation makes the argument that an increase in
participation by a previously silent conservative majority won the election for
Ahmadinejad somewhat problematic.
Furthermore, there are concerns about the numbers themselves. Two
provinces, Mazandaran and Yazd, have results which indicate that more votes
were cast on 12 June than there were eligible voters and that four more
provinces had turnouts in the mid-nineties.
In a country where allegations of 'tombstone voting' the practice200f using the
identity documents of the deceased to cast additional ballots are both longstanding
and widespread, this result is troubling but perhaps not unexpected.
This problem did not start with Ahmadinejad; according to official statistics
gathered by the International institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance
in Stockholm, there were 12.9% more registered voters at the time of
Mohammed Khatami's 2001 victory than there were citizens of voting age.
In conclusion, a number of aspects of the reported turnout figures are
problematic. The massive increases from 2005, the collapse of regional
variations, and the absence of any clear correlation between increases in
turnout and increased support for any candidate on their own make the results
problematic.

2. Where did Ahmadinejad's New Votes Come From?

According to the official Ministry of Interior voting data (see Appendix),
Mahmud Ahmadinejad has increased the conservative vote by 113%
compared to the 2005 election. There is little correlation in provincial level
results between the increase in turnout and the swing to the President,
challenging the notion that a previously silent conservative majority has come
out to support him. Interestingly, in 1.0 out of 30 provinces, mainly former
Mehdi Karrubi strongholds, the official data suggests that Ahmadinejad
received not only the votes of all former non-voters and former Rafsanjani
voters, but also took up to 44% of the vote from those who had previously
voted Reformist.
According to the official data1, Mahmud Ahmadinejad has received
approximately 13m more votes in this election than the combined conservative
vote in the 2005 Presidential election2.
Assuming that Ahmadinejad retained all 11.5m Conservative votes from 2005,
these additional 13m votes could have come from three sources, in
descending order of likelihood:
The approximately 10.6m citizens who did not vote in 2005, but chose
to vote in this election
The 6.2m citizens who voted for the centrist Rafsanjani in 2005
The 10.4m citizens who voted for Reformist candidates in 2005
In order to examine in detail where Ahmadinejad's increased support came
from, the table below (Fig.3) shows the composition of the 2009 vote by
province, dividing it into those who voted Conservative, Rafsanjani, and
Reformist in 2005, and those who did not vote at all in 2005. It assumes that
2005 voters will vote again.
The table demonstrates that in the 10 of Iran's 30 provinces highlighted red, in
order for the official statistics to be correct Ahmadinejad would have needed to
win over all new voters, all former Rafsanjani voters, and also up to 44% of
former reformist voters.
1 Serious complaints have been raised about both the 2005 elections and the 2009
elections. Government data is not perfectly reliable.
2 In 2005 there were three Conservative candidates in the first round. Ahmadinejad can
reasonably be expected to have received in 2009, all votes cast for Conservatives in
2005. Here, Ahmadinejad's 2009 performance is compared to the combined
performance of all three Conservatives in 2005.
It is notable that many of these are provinces where the Reformist cleric Mehdi
Karrubi polled highly in 2005, and the government's figures would appear to
suggest that his former supporters have not voted tactically for the likely
Reformist challenger Mir Hussein Musavi, as many had expected, but rather
that they have defected to the hard-line conservative incumbent Ahmadinejad.
This interpretation is to some extent supported by the relationship between the
percentage of former Karrubi voters in a province, and its swing to
Ahmadinejad (Fig.2).
To many Reformists, this situation is extremely unlikely. Mehdi Karrubi is a
well-known reformist, of polar opposite views to Ahmadinejad on issues of
political and cultural freedoms, economic management, and foreign policy.
They allege fraud, and it is likely that the provinces where Karrubi's vote has
collapsed will provide the bulk of the 600+ complaints which the defeated
c andidates are lodging against the conduct of the election.
However, Karrubi, like Ahmadinejad, is seen as a 'man of the people', and

Ahmadinejad is as much a re-incarnation of the Islamic Republic's early hard
left as he is a leader of its current hard-right. Ahmadinejad's supporters thus
claim that rural voters voted for Ahmadinejad in 2009 for precisely the same
reasons that they voted for Karrubi in 2005.
The data offers no arbitration in this dispute, although Roukema's application
of statistical fraud detection techniques to the 'by district' data has turned up
some anomalies with respect to the figures for Karrubi's vote,3 which may
suggest that they were created by a computer. These can be followed up
should the fully disaggregated 'by polling station' data be released during the
ongoing dispute.

3. Do Rural Voters Support Ahmadinejad?
Many commentators have suggested, before and after the Presidential
Election, that Ahmadinejad is very popular in rural areas and that this explains
his high levels of support. However, the data from the 2005 Presidential
election does not support this contention. Instead, it confirms that what
support Ahmadinejad did gain in 2005 was mainly from urban and suburban
areas. The graphs below show the levels of support for Ahmadinejad against
the rural population of the province in question (Fig.4) and Conservatives as a
group (Fig.5).
Source: Ministry of Interior Publications 2005 and 2009 and Iranian Census of
2006 (see appendix)
This data supports the con tention of academic experts on rural Iranian politics4
that rural voters have not been the dedicated Ahmadinejad supporters
occasionally described in western media. This is supported by the fact that
much of Iran's rural population is comprised of ethnic minorities: Lors, Baluch,
Kurdish, and Arab amongst others. These ethnic minorities have a history both
of voting Reformist and of voting for members of their own ethnic group. For
example, they were an important segment of Khatami's vote in 1997 and 2001
and voted largely for Karrubi and Mostafa Moin in 2005.
The 2009 data suggests a sudden shift in political support with precisely these
rural provinces, which had not previously supported Ahmadinejad or any other
conservative (Fig.5) showing substantial swings to Ahmadinejad (Fig.6). At the
same time, the official data suggests that the vote for Mehdi Karrubi, who was
extremely popular in these rural, ethnic minority areas in 2005, has collapsed
entirely even in his home province of Lorestan, where his vote has gone from
440,247 (55.5%) in 2005 to just 44,036 (4.6%) in 2009. This is paralleled by
an overall swing of 50.9% to Ahmadinejad, with official results suggesting that
he has captured the support of 47.5% of those who cast their ballots for
4 Cf. Hooglund 'Iran's Rural Vote and Election Fraud' Agence Global, 17 June 2009.
http://www.agenceglobal.com/Article.asp?Id=2034
Reformist candidates in 2005. This, more than any other result, is highly
implausible, and has been the subject of much debate in Iran.
This increase in support for Ahmadinejad amongst rural and ethnic minoritiy
voters is out of step with previous trends, extremely large in scale, and central
to the question of why (or indeed whether) he won in June 2009.

RE: Lins e Silva Family on CBS
FYI
From: Jacobs, Janice L

To: Kennedy, Patrick F; Mills, Cheryl D
Subject: FW: Lins e Silva Family on CBS
Fyi. The latest on the Sean Goldman case.
The Lins e Silva family will appear on CBS tomorrow morning with a tape showing an interview with Sean
Goldman where he says he wants to live in Brazil and that he considers Lins e Silva his father. David Goldman
and his attorneys are extremely upset about Sean being exploited this way. The federal court that just
decided that David should have custody whenever he is in Brazil believes the Lins e Silva family and maternal
grandparents are doing all they can to alienate Sean from his father.
We have been asked to provide CBS with a written statement about all that is being done to reunite Sean with
his father. This is In the works now.
Here is what we know about the tape:

Family Releases New Psych Transcript
Brazilian press have reported the release of a transcript of a new psychological interview of Sean Goldman,
quoting Sean as stating that he considers Lins e Silva his father and that he wants to stay in Brazil. Press
reports indicate that this interview was taped, and took place in front of witnesses from the Rio state level
children's rights organizations. At least one report then referred to the controversy of the psychological exam,
and quotes a psychologist as saying that the mother's family may be increasing the boy's suffering by making
him talk once more, thereby reliving the child's traumas. Almost all reporting points out that the psychologist
conducting the interview was hired by the maternal family

Colleagues,
Bernie Aronson called Milt this afternoon to let him know that the Lins e Silva family will be in the U.S.
tomorrow to make an appearance on CBS. The family will be bringing a video of Sean. I don't have any more
details, but wanted to pass on the heads up.

FW: GLIFFA Gay Pride Event - Vandalism (proofed and revised)
Gay pride flyer with photos (2).pub
See below in case this bics an issue.

From: Robinson, John M
To: Finley, Allen C
Cc: Mills, Cheryl D; Kennedy, Patrick F
Subject: GLIFFA Gay Pride Event - Vandalism (proofed and revised)
Attached is the flyer for today's event to be held at noon in the Dean Acheson Auditorium.
Our staff observed to our dismay that during the night or early this morning, someone removed and discarded all of
the flyers for this event which we had placed in elevator wells throughout the building.
We consider this Anti - Gay vandalism, and though not entirely unexpected, it certainly cannot be tolerated.
My staff is in the process of reprinting and distributing the announcements, which are critical to ensure the broadest
possible publicity for attendance. Moreover it is very important that GLIFFA understand the Department of State
supports them as fully as we do all other Affinity Groups. Moreover, we will protect their rights to assembly, free
speech, and freedom from harassment.
We ask that you immediate help in monitoring the elevator wells and other spaces for the next two hours to deter
and discourage vandals. Please have your personnel approach anyone in the act of unauthorized poster removal, and
take any other measures you deem appropriate to deal with this situation.
Thank you for the advice you have already given and thanks in advance for the assistance and support you will render to
address this problem.

Longtime Clinton confidant Blumenthal to become Clinton advisor

Tue, 06/23/2009 - 1:00pm
Longtime journalist and former Clinton White House advisor Sidney Blumenthal will become a special advisor
without portfolio to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, The Cable has learned. Blumenthal refused to comment.
But sources say he is filling out the paperwork and disentangling himself from other obligations as he moves to
become a special advisor to the secretary whose presidential campaign he helped advise. The position would
not require Senate confirmation.
Clinton, who is recovering from surgery to repair a broken elbow, has been building her team at the State
Department, while establishing her credentials as a team player supporting and amplifying her former
presidential rival's foreign-policy vision. Sources close to her says she will prove indispensable to Obama, a
point several Obama aides also made to Politico's Ben Smith in a piece noting the relatively background role
she has played in these early months. The planned addition of Blumenthal, a longtime confidant of the Clinton
family and a fierce defender of Bill Clinton's presidential legacy, could indicate she plans to raise her profile.
(Blumenthal is probably Clinton's best speechwriter, a friend notes.)
In the foreign-policy arena, Blumenthal advised former President Clinton on U.S.-British relations, and first
introduced him to future British Prime Minister Tony Blair. He has also been active in the Third WayProgressive Governance process. A former Washington Post reporter, Blumenthal has contributed
commentary and editorial advice to Vanity Fair, Tina Brown's new online magazine The Daily Beast, the New
Yorker, and Salon. Blumenthal has also been a fellow at New York University's Center on Law and Security.

S.840 - International Clean Energy Development Act of 2009

Bill Highlights
The International Clean Energy Development Act of 2009, directs the U.S. Asia-Pacific
Partnership (APP) Program Office of the U.S. Department of State to establish a Development
and Commercialization Committee on Clean and Efficient Energy Technologies. The committee
shall review all existing APP action plans that focus on technology advancement, including
cleaner fossil fuel and power generation, determine the projects that should be expedited and
then leverage existing financial mechanisms to fund them. The bill authorizes funding of $200
million annually from 2010 to 2015. The new committee enables the APP to strengthen its focus
on development and commercialization of clean energy technologies as well as:
Engages specific countries with the largest markets, manufacturing bases, and
distribution chains in order to leverage their assets to achieve lower technology
development and commercialization costs and influence global standards.
Receives a minimum of 100% match in funding. Existing APP Program Office policy
requires all projects to have a minimum 1 for 1 match for funding from partners
equaling a program total of $2 billion in 5 years, contingent on U.S. funding at $200
million per year.
Strengthens U.S. International Climate Diplomacy efforts by strengthening existing
channels of engagement with critical countries (China and India) in areas where they can
effectively contribute to the global effort of reducing GHG emissions.
APP Background
Initiated in July of 2005, The Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate (APP)
brings together seven major Asia-Pacific countries Australia, Canada, China, India, Japan,
Korea, and the United States that collectively account for more than half of the world's
economy, population, and energy use. Within this framework; the Partners are cooperating in
voluntary and collaborative efforts to address increased energy needs and the associated issues of
air pollution, energy security, and climate change. An innovative public-private sector effort, the
Asia-Pacific Partnership was established to achieve these objectives in ways that promote
economic development, reduce poverty, and accelerate the development and deployment of
cleaner, more efficient technologies. The work of the Asia-Pacific Partnership comprises a wide
range of activities. The initial portfolio of Partnership projects is weighted toward activities such
best practice identification, and technology research and demonstration, with project examples
including: standardized energy efficient lighting; transforming waste to fuel in cement kilns;
improving carbon capture technology for coal-fired power plants; developing coal mining health
and safety strategies; sharing best practices in power generation; promoting solar power
deployment; and increasing usage of cleaner steel technologies.

THE PASSPORT CARD TRAVEL ENHANCEMENT ACT (S. 321)

As part of efforts to implement the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), the Department of
State (State) developed the U.S. passport card as a cheaper, more portable alternative to the U.S. passport
book in 2008 as required by P.L. 109-295. Over 1 million passport cards have been issued to date.
Applicants for a passport card complete the exact same application as applicants for a passport book
(http://travel.state.gov/passport/ppt_card/ppt_card_3926.html), and those applications are adjudicated by State
using "the exact same standards" (http://travel.state.gov/passport/ppt_cardippt_card_3921.html).
Despite these similarities, State only allows U.S. nationals to use the passport card to enter U.S. land and sea
ports-of-entry from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda. State does not allow the passport card to be
used for any air travel despite the fact that, prior to 2007, rarely was any documentation required for U.S.
citizens to travel by air between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean.
Therefore, the Passport Card Travel Enhancement amendment would require the Departments of
Homeland Security (DHS) and State to accept the passport card as a WHTI-compliant document for air
travel between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda. In today's economic climate,
such steps are necessary to provide more, less expensive ways for U.S. citizens to comply with WHTI.
While the passport card is not a globally interoperable document that conforms to International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards, Senator Voinovich questions why the card needs to be a
globally interoperable document in order for U.S. nationals to use it to fly within the Western Hemisphere
to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean since U.S. nationals generally didn't need any
documentation to fly to those destinations prior to 2007 and even today, Canada, Mexico and Bermuda
rarely require any documentation from U.S. citizens, much less ICAO compliant documentation. Further,
he questions why the passport card needs to meet ICAO standards since DHS already accepts NEXUS
cards, which do not meet ICAO standards, for air, land and sea travel between the U.S. and Canada
(http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/trusted_traveler/nexus_proginexus.xml).
Additionally, Senator Voinovich does not believe allowing the passport card to be used for Western
Hemisphere air travel would cause any more confusion than is already associated with WHTI and the
multiple travel documents that have been deemed WHTI compliant for some or all entries, or than will
result from the status quo, which allows the passport card to be used for some (land and sea) but not all
(air) Western Hemisphere air travel;
Lastly, Senator Voinovich does not believe allowing passport cards to be used for limited air travel would
increase the cost of providing emergency citizen services abroad because prior to 2007, rarely was any
documentation needed to travel to Mexico, Canada, Bermuda and the Caribbean, and the cost of
emergency citizen services abroad at that time was not an issue, and furthermore, State does not track the
cost of such services by country, so at present, there is no way to track increased costs.
In its comments to State's Proposed Rule regarding the passport card, the Canadian Government
suggested allowing the passport card to be used for air travel between Canada and the U.S. Additionally,
at the 2008 U.S.-Canada Inter-Parliamentary Group meeting, a resolution was passed declaring that
passport cards should be valid for air travel between Canada and the United States.
S. 321 is cosponsored by Senators Klobuchar, Collins, Tester, Murkowski and Bingaman and is supported
by the Air Transport Association, the U.S. Travel Association and the National Business Travel
Association.

The Settlers' Lawyer (or, Elliott Abrams Is At It Again)

June 25, 2009, posted by Lara Friedman
On May 23, 2005, the Washington Post ran a an incisive op-ed by former State Department negotiator and
Middle East advisor Aaron Miller, entitled "Israel's Lawyer," in which Aaron argued "For far too long, many
American officials involved in Arab-Israeli peacemaking, myself included, have acted as Israel's attorney..." I
was reminded of that article when I read today's piece by Elliott Abrams in the Wall Street Journal, which
should, I believe, have been entitled "The West Bank Settlers' Lawyer."
Before anyone accuses me of casting aspersions on Mr. Abrams' honor or motivations, let me be clear: I have
no doubt he has taken the case pro bono. For him, advocating for the settlers is clearly a labor of love. And the
settlers are fortunate to have Elliott volunteering for the job. He brings a unique combination of expertise and
experience, combined, it would seem, with a shameless willingness to cherry-pick the facts and, when the facts
don't support his argument, to fall back on the "I was there and I know what happened."
An interesting approach from a man who does not have a spotless record when it comes to truth-telling and
foreign policy (for anyone who has forgotten the history: "Elliott Abrams Pleaded guilty October 7, 1991, to
two misdemeanor charges of withholding information from Congress about secret government efforts to support
the Nicaraguan contra rebels during a ban on such aid. U.S. District Chief Judge Aubrey E. Robinson, Jr.,
sentenced Abrams November 15, 1991, to two years probation and 100 hours community service. Abrams was
pardoned December 24, 1992.")
But that was a long time ago. Let's forgot the ugly and embarrassing Iran-Contra history and focus on the
"facts" in the current case, as Elliott sees them:
In today's WSJ article, Elliott offers an almost completely unverifiable history of what he says transpired
between June 2003 and August 2005 (the date of Israel's "disengagement" from Gaza). Predictably, he focuses
on the letter President Bush gave to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on April 14, 2004. In that letter, Elliott notes
(correctly), Bush wrote: "In light of new realities on the ground, including already existing major Israeli
populations centers, it is unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final status negotiations will be a full and
complete return to the armistice lines of 1949."
61
What Elliott neglects to mention is that in the letter Bush also re-stated his commitment to the Roadmap ("the
United States remains committed to my vision and to its implementation as described in the roadmap"), which
in stage I states that "Consistent with the Mitchell Report, GOI freezes all settlement activity (including natural
growth of settlements)."
Elliott then goes on to assert that "On settlements we also agreed on principles that would permit some
continuing growth." His evidence of such an agreement? Exhibit A: A statement by Prime Minister Sharon, not
President Bush: "Mr. Sharon stated these clearly in a major policy speech in December 2003: 'Israel will meet
all its obligations with regard to construction in the settlements. There will be no construction beyond the
existing construction line, no expropriation of land for construction, no special economic incentives and no
construction of new settlements."
Is this extremely experienced lawyer and foreign policy professional seriously arguing that a statement by
Sharon should be understood as an accurate articulation of US policy, even in the absence of any corroborating
statement by the US President? Even when that lengthy policy speech went into a range of issue where - at least
officially - there was public disagreement with the US? (for example, in this same speech Sharon makes clear
Israel views the Roadmap commitments as sequential - the Palestinians do everything they have to do, and only
then does Israel act. ) Apparently so.
But it gets better. For further evidence, Elliott asserts that, really, the US agreed with everything Sharon was
saying. His evidence? Exhibit B: A letter from Arid Sharon's Chief of Staff, Dov Weissglas, Secretary of State
Rice..
It is like saying "your honor, I swear my client did not sideswipe that car in the parking lot. I was there and I
saw the whole thing. And as proof I give you my statement and a statement from my client and his wife, written
to the owner of the damaged car, making clear that they were not the ones who hit his car. I rest my case."
So there are not quotes from President Bush or Secretary Rice to support Elliott's narrative - only statements by
Israeli officials.
But Elliot has more proof to bring before the court: media reports. Exhibit #C: Elliott notes that "Stories in the
press also made it clear that there were indeed 'agreed principles.' On Aug. 21, 2004 the New York Times
reported that 'the Bush administration . . . now supports construction of new apartments in areas already built
up in some settlements, as long as the expansion does not extend outward."
Interesting. So if the NYT reported it, it must be true, right? Or rather, what must be true is that they were
reporting what someone told them, at the time. And according to the first paragraph of the article Elliott cites,
the source is: "American and Israeli officials." Who could these officials be? Could they be Abrams himself
(who at this point can no longer deny that he is personally invested in such a policy), and maybe Dov
Weissglas? There is no way to know, but regardless, this is clearly not definitive proof of anything, other than
the fact that there were Israeli and US officials spinning the story this way.
The rest of Elliott's article is simply hearsay and innuendo, speculation, and conjecture - not a single "fact" that
can be examined, let alone refuted. Elliott rests his case on statements by two Israeli officials who never hid
their desire to do everything possible to keep building West Bank settlements, and press reports based on unnamed US and Israeli officials.
With this kind of evidence, it is hard to see why the jury is still debating this case at all. Clearly the settlers'
have a really excellent lawyer.
62
And since some of us prefer to rely on facts, rather than clever argumentation and bombastic statements, here
are some actual statements by President Bush about settlements, from the same period Elliott is addressing:
President Bush 9/21/04: "...Israel should impose a settlement freeze, dismantle unauthorized outposts, end the
daily humiliation of the Palestinian people and avoid any actions that prejudice final negotiations..."
President Bush, 11/27/07: "...Israel must demonstrate its support for the creation of a prosperous and successful
Palestinian state by removing unauthorized outposts, ending settlement expansion, and finding other ways for
the Palestinian Authority to exercise its responsibilities without compromising Israel's security."
President Bush, 1/9/2008: " ...The second track is to help both parties deal with road map issues. Settlements is
a road map issue..."
President Bush, 1/10/2008: "...Each side has got obligations under the road map. Settlements are clearly stated
in the road map obligations for Israel. We have made our concerns about expansion of settlements known, and
we expect both parties to honor their obligations under the road map."

Bill Clinton to visit Haiti Monday as UN special envoy
07/02/2009 16:58
UNITED NATIONS, July 2, 2009 (AFP) - Former US president Bill Clinton will travel to Haiti Monday for his first visit as UN
special envoy to the Caribbean nation, the world body announced Thursday.
Clinton, who was appointed to the post by UN chief Ban Ki-moon last month, is to confer with government officials
"about how to best support the efforts to prepare for hurricanes, generate new jobs and enhance the delivery of basic
social services," UN spokeswoman Michele Montas told reporters.
The former US president "will also focus on how to ensure that the United Nations, civil society and the donor
community align their activities with the government's recovery plan as well as with each other," she added.
It will be Clinton's his second trip to Haiti this year.
In March, he and Ban toured Haiti together and urged the international community to continue to aid the impoverished
Caribbean country.
Clinton, who visited Haiti while president in 1995, was the first US leader to travel to the country while in office since
Franklin Roosevelt in 1934.
The former US president has sought to focus world attention on Haiti which was devastated by hurricanes last year and
is the poorest country in the western hemisphere.

Re: King Abdullah names Prince Hussein Crown Prince
Isn't a surprise since 5 years ago he removed his brother as official crown prince.
Basically he's not honoring his fathers dying wish but since constitution says it should be son (with brother as option) he
has clear authority to do it. I personally think this shows confidence in his position as he's not worried about an outcry
from his fathers loyalists.

Re: King Abdullah names Prince Hussein Crown Prince
Well he's very young, only 15.

Rumor is hes smart, quiet, bookish. Like his father.
What is interesting is that the reason abdullah gave from removing his brother 5 years ago is that he thought the weight
of being crown prince restricted his life, education and travel. I suspect the reason he's done this is so his son can be
properly groomed from now to inherit the thrown. Life will change dramatically for him.

NAACP's Bond at the W.H.
By CAROL E. LEE
Tensions between the White House and the NAACP over President Obama.s upcoming address at the
groups 100th ...
....anniversary celebration were *not totally resolved after leaders of the influential civil rights
organization met with two senior White House aides Thursday morning.
*There.s some scheduling adjustments that have to be made,* Julian Bond told POLITICO as he left the
West Wing. But he.s coming..
Bond and Hilary Shelton, the NAACP.s vice president for advocacy, said they met with White House senior
adviser Valerie Jarrett and her chief of staff, Michael Strautmanis.
Bond said the NAACP and the White House have agreed on a date July 16 but have yet to settle on a time
when Obama will address the groups conference. At issue is the venue.
Ideally Obama.s speech would be at a location that makes it easy for everyone to see him* Bond said. So
far the White House has rejected some suggestions including Yankee Stadium citing security reasons, and
there is a dispute over exactly what time he will speak.
*It was a healthy, helpful conversation,. Shelton said of the meeting.
Shelton and Bond said they did not see Obama while they were in the West Wing for roughly 45 minutes.
Attorney General Eric Holder is scheduled to address the NAACP.s conference on July 13, they said, and
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is also trying to schedule in appearance. The conference is being held from
July 11 to 16.
Shelton noted that Obama has not missed an annual NAACP meeting since he was elected to the Senate in
B6
2004.
And on his way into the meeting, Bond suggested that Obama has the NAACP to thank for his election to the
presidency.
If it weren.t for the work of the NAACP over the past century, he told Urban Radios April Ryan, .a black
man would not be president of the United States today..

Subject: Bill Clinton raising bucks for Maloney
Bill Clinton raising bucks for Maloney

Former President Clinton will be keeping his commitment to host a fundraiser for Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who
has irritated other Democratic leaders by announcing she*s challenging Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) in a
primary.
The July 20 fundraiser with Clinton*in Manhattan had been in the works for months, well before Maloney
announced she would be running against Gillibrand. The former president has not endorsed in the race for his
wife*s former Senate seat and is not planning to issue an endorsement, according to his spokesman.
Clinton held a fundraiser for Gillibrand in March soon after she was appointed to the Senate by Gov. David
Paterson (D-N.Y).
The fundraiser is for Maloney*s House fund but in practical terms, the fundraiser has the same effect as raising
money for a Senate campaign. Maloney is allowed to transfer unlimited sums from her House campaign
account to any future Senate account, according to FEC law.
Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna said the fundraiser is part of a series of events where the former president is
helping out elected officials who supported his wife*s 2008 presidential campaign.
*We agreed to do this event some time ago, as a way of saying thank you for the congresswoman*s hard
work on behalf of then-Sen. Clinton in the presidential campaign* said McKenna.
But Clinton is steering clear from helping another Hillary-supporting House Democrat who is also challenging a
sitting senator in a primary. POLITICO reported last month that Clinton wont be holding any fundraisers for
Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.), a Clinton pal who is running against Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.).
Specter has been endorsed by President Obama, Vice President Biden and Gov. Ed Rendell (D-Pa.), who was
also one of Hillary*s most dedicated supporters in 2008.

the outskirts of the city last night where they will begin their march today. Zelaya and
his supporters have been encouraging Zelaya supporters from the interior to come into the
capital and support Zelaya's arrival. Many of these are rural poor and indigenous from
his popular strongholds in the Departments of Copan Intibuca, and Lempira. We also know

Saddam's rule 'better' for gay Iraqis

Investigating reports of the murder and torture of gay men in Iraq, Ashley Byrne found that some gays
found Saddam Hussein's dictatorship preferable to the threat of violence they face today. Some readers
will find parts of his report disturbing.
There has been so much news of death and destruction from Iraq that the position of sexual minorities is rarely
touched on in the mainstream media.
But stories of torture and murder of gay Iraqis, particularly men, have been emerging in the gay press for several
years.
Investigating these stories for a BBC Radio 5 Live documentary, Gay Life After Saddam, I've heard a range of views
about the deteriorating conditions for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people.
Some say the violence has intensified in the past few months. Others say killings run into the hundreds and have been
going on since 2003.
What is clear, and confirmed by separate evidence from various human rights groups, is that some gay men have
been subjected to appalling violent abuse.
One young Iraqi, Amil (not his real name) recalled the death of a friend: "They found out he was gay and they killed
him and they chopped him like a lamb, it was awful."
Another man (who wished to remain anonymous) revealed to Scott Long from the New York-based Human Rights
Watch, how his partner was kidnapped and killed.
"It was late one night when four armed men came to take my boyfriend from his parents' house.
" They found out he was gay and they killed him and they chopped him like a lamb"
Amil, a gay Iraqi
L
"They were masked and dressed in black.
"We found his body the next day dumped in the garbage, his throat cut out, his genitals cut off."
82
Of all the shocking testimony we heard, a form of torture involving glue has to be the most awful revelation to emerge
from our investigations.
Human Rights Watch researcher Rasha Moumneh told us: "We've heard stories of gay-specific torture where men
have glue in their anuses and they force-feed them laxatives."
Gay men inside Iraq have been able to seek sanctuary in safe houses, thanks to the UK-based Iraqi Lesbian Gay
Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) group, which manages them from London.
The documentary team were granted exclusive access to one of the homes on the outskirts of Baghdad, where we
found a 31-year-old transsexual man called Qasim (not his real name).
Qasim said: "I'm scared all the time. I often think people are going to come in the night and take me because I am
particularly known as gay."
All the LGBT Iraqis interviewed for Gay Life After Saddam maintained that life was easier for them when Saddam
Hussein was in power, from 1979 to 2003.
Some spoke fondly of an underground gay culture that flourished before the war in Baghdad.
But it was unclear exactly what Saddam's view on homosexuality was, and there has been some evidence to suggest
that the former dictator was acting to clamp down on sexual minorities in the latter years of his reign.
So who is to blame for the violence against LGBT people in Iraq?
Some blame militia, while other accuse religious leaders of stoking up hatred of homosexuals, though some clerics
have also recently condemned the attacks on gays.
The Iraqi government and police also deny that there have been any state-sanctioned killings or torture of
homosexuals in Iraq.
What is clear however is that gay people in Iraq have not been crushed.
He may be holed up in a safe house but Qasim is hopeful: "I find the Iraqi prime minister quite good.
"I hope he can talk with religious leaders, change the constitution and punish and imprison the murderers."
Meanwhile the refugee who runs the safe houses from London, All HiIli, lives in constant fear of his life after being sent
two fatwas, or Islamic religious rulings.
But he has insisted he will not give up trying to help gay people in Iraq.
"If I think too much that someone is going to get me and kill me then I know I'd stop what I'm doing.
"I have to continue because I really believe in the work that I am doing."
Gay Life After Saddam was broadcast on Radio 5 Live, Sunday 5 July.

Ghana, but not forgotten

By: Josh Gerstein
July 4, 2009 07:38 PM EST
It might seem like a moment just too good for the White House to pass up America's first
black president, on his first trip to sub-Saharan Africa, looking out over a sea of jubilant
faces, delivering a message of friendship and hope.
Yet President Barack Obama, who would command a monumental audience nearly
anywhere he spoke on the continent where he traces his ancestry, is not scheduled to
deliver a speech to the general public when he visits Ghana next week.
The White House said it preferred a smaller event at Ghana's parliament to herald the
nation's democratic traditions. But some suspect the reason has its roots in an event that
holds a storied place in White House lore President Bill Clinton's 1998 speech to a
massive crowd in the sweltering heat of Accra, Ghana, where Obama will visit as well.
For Clinton, the first stop on a 12-day, six-country African journey was a chance to bask in
the adulation far from Washington, then consumed with the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Clinton now regularly pegs the size of the crowd that day at 1 million, though years ago he
described it simply as more than 500,000.
Whatever the number, the overheated, overcrowded, overwhelming event left some in
Clinton's party worried that he'd been shot, and a doctor concerned that he could contract
HIV from frantic interaction with the crowd. And it took a threatening turn at the end, as a
red-faced, shouting Clinton implored the crowd, "Get back! Back off!" as it threatened to
crush a woman near the front of the stage.
"The crowd was so large that it began surging towards the stage. Suddenly, a woman in
the front of the crowd began to get trampled," recalled Sandy Berger, Clinton's national
security adviser at the time. "Clinton jumped up and put his arm down over the side and
grabbed her. The Secret Service thought he'd been shot and freaked out."
A7
"He saved her life," Berger said. "It was a kind of tumultuous scene."
Clinton's White House physician Dr. Connie Mariano said she started out that day worried
about the heat, but wound up concerned about HIV.
"It was steamy, and hot, and miserable," Mariano recalled. "[Ghana's president General
Jerry] Rawlings put a ceremonial robe over [Clinton's] dark business suit and I thought,
'Oh my God, he's going to pass out," she said.
Mariano said the feverish crowd and the scuffle over people being crushed at the front left
the president nicked up.
"He got scratches. His hands were cut because people's nails were scratching him
because they wanted to hold him," she said. "Realize how many HIV-positive people there
were there. ... It was an extremely frightening experience."
As the crowd surged forward, police wielding rubber truncheons slammed them down on
the hands of people holding onto the barricades. The front-line people would jump back,
only to be pushed forward, grab the barricades, and have their hands whacked again.
Reporters offering bottled water to parched Ghanaians nearly triggered a stampede.
"I just remember the mass of flesh. There was like a gazillion people, more than I had ever
seen in my life," said Ann Scales, who covered the event for The Boston Globe.
Clinton's speechwriter that day, Ted Widmer, recalled a feeling of sensory overload.
"It was surreal in many ways just one sensation after the next," he said. "Sweat was
pouring out of every pore in my body. ... I was seeing these people do a lion dance with
deafening drums. ... I've been at plenty of unmemorable political speeches. This one was
carnival-esque and fun."
During the presidential primary campaign last year, Clinton often invoked the memory of
his Accra speech as an example of when he was at his rhetorical peak. "Back when I was
in politics, I was a reasonably good speaker," Clinton told college students in Austin,
Texas last February. "I once spoke to a million people in Ghana."
Estimates of how many people were actually on hand that day vary widely. In Clinton's
book, "My Life," he says "more than half a million people." White House officials speaking
to reporters that day said security aides to Rawlings had also estimated the crowd at more
than 500,000. However, The Associated Press reported that Ghanaian officials put it at
more than 1 million. The New York Times used the half-million estimate, but also reported
that Independence Square, where Clinton spoke, "has a capacity of more than 200,000."
Whatever the true number, Obama isn't trying to top it. He'll address Ghana's parliament,
meet the country's president, and tour a slave fort on Ghana's coast on the final stop of
week-long trip that also takes him to Russia to meet the country's leaders and Italy for a
G-8 summit and to see Pope Benedict XVI.
A senior White House official, speaking on background, said staging Obama's major
speech at the parliament "primarily reflects and emphasizes the importance of different
institutions in the political life of Ghana," the official said.

In a briefing for reporters this week, the National Security Council's director for African
Affairs, Michelle Gavin, indicated Obama's main interaction with ordinary people during his
less-than-24-hour visit will come at the Accra airport during "a departure ceremony that
will allow more Ghanaians an opportunity to participate in the visit."
In addition to the challenges inherent in controlling a friendly crowd, another possible
factor weighing against a major outdoor speech by Obama is the terrorist threat posed by
at Qaeda. The bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania came in August
1998, about five months after Clinton spoke to the throngs in Ghana. Since September 11,
2001, there have also been reports of al Qaeda activity in the West African countries
Liberia and Sierra Leone.
"It's another world," Mariano said. "We were pre-9/11 with Clinton. After 9/11, everything
changed."
Even without a formal public event, thousands of Ghanaians are sure to flock into the
streets in the hopes of getting a glimpse of Obama. There should be no shortage of
pictures of excited Africans cheering the U.S. president's visit.
When President George W. Bush went to Ghana in February 2008, he avoided venues
that might draw a large crowd. There was no grand speech. Bush met with Peace Corps
volunteers at the U.S. ambassador's residence, talked to development groups at a foreign
trade center, took in a one-inning tee-ball game, and attended a State Dinner at Osu
Castle, which was then the seat of government.
One highlight of Bush's visit was the performance of the U.S. national anthem by
American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, who works against malaria.
Of course, in a sense Obama may already have broken whatever record Clinton set in
Accra 11 years ago. When Obama was sworn in in January, Washington, D.C. officials
estimated the crowd at 1.8 million. Other estimates ranged from 800,000 to 3 million. Of
course, no one was in danger of heatstroke. Frostbite was more like it.
In 2008, during the presidential campaign, Obama spoke in Germany to a crowd Berlin
police estimated at more than 200,000.
The purported million-strong turnout for Clinton's speech is all the more impressive given
Ghana's size. The country's population back in 1998 was estimated at 18.5 million, while
about 2 million people lived in the capital.
Berger said Ghanaians still remember the event fondly. "I was in Ghana two weeks ago
and people still talk about it," he said. "Everybody I talked to said they were there."
Scales said keeping Obama out of a mass-crowd situation is "probably a very smart
decision."
"President Clinton was considered by some the first black president," she said. "Just
imagine what kind of crowd America's real first black president could draw."

My guess is that he is calling about Honduras. He, like many other leaders with an interest in Central America, is worried
that Honduras is slipping towards confrontation and violence. He probably does not think Insulza is up to the task. S
should be aware that Arias is prepared to offer his services. I spoke with the Costa Rican FonMin, who said the de facto
government has reached out to Arias, and that the Costa Ricans will be looking for a way to make the offer to
Zelaya. Uribe knows Zelaya and has some influence. Uribe might want to talk with Arias and offer to help move Zelaya
in the right direction. (Although Uribe and Zelaya come from different ends of the political spectrum, they are both
ranchers and love horses, and this has created some comradeship.)

Release Detail
July 7, 2009 - Obama's Approval Drops In Ohio - Critical Swing State, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds;
2010 Senate Race Tips Slightly To Democrats
Word format
President Barack Obama gets a lackluster 49 - 44 percent approval rating in Ohio, considered by many to be the
most important swing state in a presidential election, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
This is President Obama's lowest approval rating in any national or statewide Quinnipiac University poll since
he was inaugurated and is down from 62 - 31 percent in a May 6 survey.
By a small 48 - 46 percen t margin, voters disapprove of the way Obama is handling the economy, the
independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. This is down from a 57 - 36 percent approval
May 6. A total of 66 percent of Ohio voters are "somewhat dissatisfied" or "very dissatisfied" with the way
things are going in the state, while 33 percent are "very satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied," numbers that haven't
changed since Obama was elected.
In the race for Ohio's U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring George Voinovich in 2010, Lee Fisher and
Jennifer Brunner remain neck-and-neck for the Democratic nomination and both would defeat any of the GOP
candidates if the election were today.
"The economy in Ohio is as bad as anywhere in America. These numbers indicate that for the first time voters
have decided that President Barack Obama bears some responsibility for their problems," said Peter A. Brown,
assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
"Until now voters have given President Obama high ratings on the economy, blaming former President George
W. Bush for their problems. They might be taking out their frustration on President Obama, possibly deciding
that the change he promised has not come as quickly as they expected."
"Ohio historically has been the prototypical swing state. One of the reasons Barack Obama won the p residency
by such a wide margin is that he carried Ohio with 52 percent of the vote and captured the lion's share of
independent votes," Brown added.
"Now, by a 48 - 46 percent margin, Ohio independent voters give the President a failing grade on the economy.
These numbers indicate that he may be losing, at least for now, some of those who voted for him in November
and should be an indication to the White House that his honeymoon with the voters may be ending."
In the Senate race, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher holds a 24 - 21 percent lead over Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner in
the race for the Democratic nomination, with 51 percent undecided.
Former U.S. Rep. Rob Portman holds a 33 - 10 percent lead over car dealer Tom Ganley on the Republican
side, with 55 percent undecided.
In general election trial heats, Brunner would defeat Ganley 35 - 31 percent and get 35 percent to Portman's 34
percent. Fisher leads Ganley 36 - 30 percent and Portman 37 - 33 percent.
From June 26 - July 1, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,259 Ohio voters, with a margin of error of +/- 2.8
percentage points. The survey includes 483 Democrats with a margin of error of +/- 4.5 percentage points and
445 Republicans with a margin of error of +/-4.7 percentage points.
The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in
Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio and the nation as a public service and for
research. For more data and RSS feed - http://www.quinnipiac.edu/polling.xml, or (203) 582-5201.

Spoke with Claire
She was flattered that her presence is missed in the building on long trips. Committed to make the building work for S
while she is traveling.
I asked if there are any long trips she's passionate about we would work it out she said only two if HRC ever goes to
Antarctica and Africa. I said we would work those out (her cousin is Amb to Angola so that is her real interest).
She was pleased she was impactful.

Dear Huma,
It was great to see you today however briefly
Tim Collins just called me after his meeting with Secretary Sebelius tonight and she was interested in what we are trying
to do. Tim suggested it would be helpful if you or the Secretary called to introduce me to her. Then I could set up a
meeting tomorrow while I am still here. I am leaving at 630 pm.. I would really appreciate it I think it could help
move things along!
Be well,

FW: Friday Policy Review on Africa
Interesting take on China below.

To: Mills, Cheryl D
Cc: Toiv, Nora F
Subject: RE: Friday Policy Review
No I wasn't invited to this. I can't anyway I need to go over to USAID for an event we're hosting w/
IFPRI. S/P recently drafted a policy paper on Africa and I worked contributed a lot to that paper. I see one big
issue missing from those questions the issue of China in Africa. China is transforming the continent in a way
not seen since the days of colonialism.
We should also think about China in the context of food security. There are one million Chinese
farmers currently working in Africa! That's remarkable if you think about it. China has also bought nearly 3
million hectares of land in Africa and could become one of the largest sources of commercial farming on the
continent. They are also building many of the roads that will transform transportation and the movement of
agriculture products.

Re: Your CFR speech
The draft, sent by separate email, is intended to give you options and ideas. Use as you wish. Several ideas
are at the core of this version: in particular, the concept of the US as a modern global nation and how
that serves our capacity for leadership.
For most policy speeches a generic tone and workmanlike prose are acceptable. But for this one, it is not.
This speech can't afford to be lackluster. It will then be held up in invidious comparison to Obama's
glittering best efforts. Your speech must have, amid the policies, a distinctive and authoritative voice.
Your early draft makes no distinctions between allies or partners; indeed, it barely mentions allies. The early
draft also features a strong malaise theme. Even if rebutted after being raised, the focus is on obstacles
and hindrances, not on achievements, opportunities and what can be achieved. There's no accounting of
progress so far. The effect is downbeat in tone. At the same time, the draft contains passages of vague
and gauzy liberal universalism, while in one line assailing it, an unconvincing juggling act. The notion
that all nations and peoples want the same things as Americans will not fly and is open to derision. It
reflects blithe liberal cultural imperialism, among other things. (See Graham Greene. And, on the
contrary, some nationsand peoplesseek nuclear weapons, like Iran; some don't want to curb global
warming, like China; some don't care about human rights, like most Arab nations; some have contempt
for democracy, including de facto allies like Egypt, not to mention Myanmar; and some are indifferent
to poverty, any number of African kleptocracies.) Also there is some confusion of definitions, for
example, asserting dialogue with adversaries is "strategic engagement," when that is a concept usually
applied to allies and partners.
The speech must be crafted with a sense of real time and cannot be delivered out of sync with it. Slogans
can become shopworn, especially those that lack analytical, historical and descriptive power. What
served you once, at your confirmation, may not serve again in the same way. The most cogent foreign
policy columnists from Clive Crook of the Financial Times to David Rothkopf of Foreign Policy have
already written columns in the last week on the limits of "soft power" (i.e., "smart power") and others I
understand are preparing to make similar criticisms. I would use sparingly or not at all. You do not need

to have a complex foreign policy agenda reduced to two words that the administration's adversaries will
undoubtedly use against you.

Foreign Policy
The problem when the president is the policy...

By David J. Rothkopf
Wed, 07/08/2009 - 11:25arn
You could tell it wasn't going well. The conversations with Medvedev and Putin were tense, the body language
awkward. The speech at the New Economic School laid an egg. The press seemed bored with the visit of
America's rock star president. And as for real results, well, there weren't any.
Looking for explanations in an article Clifford Levy and Ellen Barry in today's New York Times called "In
Russia, Obama's Star Power Does Not Translate," a range of possible answers were rolled out: Russians are
jaded, Russians don't go for U.S. political posturing, Obama's speeches don't translate well, and, according to
one person who ought to understand politics, a Russian circus designer, "Russians are the smartest people in the
world." (A fact they have carefully hidden behind a veil of hundreds of years of economic and political
catastrophe.)
Somehow, the formula that has been working for Barack Obama since early in 2007 suddenly seems to have
gone cold. It is not enough simply to be him or to roll out Michelle and the girls (all of whom joined him in
Moscow...unlike say, his top two State Department officials). What's more, it's not just Russia. Oh sure, the
press still swoon in most corners of the world and crowds and political leaders still get all fluttery when first
exposed to America's charming, thoughtful, intelligent, young president. But we are now starting to see what
happens when being Barack Obama is not enough. We are now starting to see the shortcomings of the new
administration's approach wherein the president has actually been the policy.
He has said we had changed and offered himself as evidence. He has been what we have offered to friends in
terms of visits, access and calls. He has been the headline grabber, the spokesperson, the new voice of America.
He has enabled the administration to take inherited policies and wrap them in Obama-paper with Obama-glitter
all over it and all of a sudden, the old was repackaged into appearing new. Where there have been differences,
as with the concept of engagement, the change has been sold as a difference between him and his predecessor,
with his speeches describing what was new and the possibility of interacting with him being the potential payoff.
This played big during his early trips overseas, the novelty value was high and the eagerness to move on from
the painful prior era was great. At the G20 meeting, at the Summit of the Americas, in Cairo, the concept of
"president as policy" seemed to be working. But now we see where it is not. Not in Russia. Not with the
Iranians who are happy to accept engagement and anything else that will be given to them but no strings, please
Not with Hugo Chavez, who hammed it up with Obama in Trinidad but led his misfit chorus in reflexively
hammering the United States after the coup in Honduras. Certainly not in North Korea.
It seems that having the president as policy works best with the people who are pre-disposed to like us and to
some extent with the young and the disenfranchised. But with the hard cases, with our enemies, it falls painfully
and dangerously flat.
In these instances, the new president is discovering that something much more than personal diplomacy and
smile from the genuinely appealing Obama clan is needed. In these instances, we are going to need to go back
to the drawing board and do the grunt work of foreign policy, the tough negotiations, the nuanced position
changes, the threats, the cajoling. It's a very different game from American politics and, in fact, is often
completely unconnected to it. What works here, very often does not play at all overseas.
There is a problem with this new reality. It requires a coordinated, multi-tiered, high-functioning foreign policy
establishment. It needs the State Department to be in a central role. It needs the NSC to work both as a policy
development and policy implementation mechanism and the National Security Advisor to be seen and
respected.. .like the Secretary of State.. .as key advisors. It requires that the foreign policy of the United States is
not centered too heavily either the president or the executive office of the president -- although the president
will always remain the ultimate key. It is perfectly appropriate for the president to be part of the product, part
of the rewards offered, and the mastermind...but he needs to move beyond campaign mode to something new. It
is much akin to the entrepreneur of a successful company recognizing that for the company to grow further, to
become a mature organization, he is going to need a mature structure that depends less on him and more on
delegation of power to effective lieutenants and their teams.
We're not there yet. The secretary of state and the State Department have been visibly marginalized. She has
become a kind of behind the scenes player. She's not on the Sunday morning shows. The president or the vice
president handles the big media assignments (often not sounding exactly like they were on the same page). The
National Security Advisor, for all his personal strengths, is viewed as a bit of a lost cause five months into the
presidency. One of his predecessors in the job said to me when asked whether he viewed General Jones as
failing in the job, "to me, on that issue, where there is smoke, there is fire." Tom Donilon, Jones's deputy, is
seen to be managing the NSC process. Denis McDonough and Mark Lippert, Obama confidantes, are seen to be
working closely with him and his inner office team (Rahm Emanuel, the VP, David Axelrod, Greg Craig and
others) to play the leading role in shaping policy.
Clearly neither Hillary Clinton nor Jim Jones is a weak person. But all power in the U.S. national security
apparatus flows from the president. And there is no denying that, despite the fact that they show up at work
every day and go through the motions, that their roles don't measure up to many of their predecessors and the
structure that is emerging suggests problems to come.
It's time to move out of campaign mode and into governing mode. It's time recognize that it really does take a
big team of empowered leaders to make the complex foreign policy of the U.S. work and evolve in the right
directions. It's time to recognize that it does not reflect badly on the president if we all agree he cannot
transform the world single handedly, that however different he may be from his predecessors, that alone is not
enough.

"recovery" is a solution, not a

Comment [5116]: Again, the word

Comment [5130]: I would plea for avoiding

"multi-polar." It's a Euro-cliche now gone
universal, but it's not really valid analytically, nor is
it smart to use it, precisely because it does echo the
rhetoric of those who want to see America be "just

it's important to remove multipolar from the

update: workshop key findings
Dear Secretary Clinton,

I hope that your elbow is healing quickly. I mentioned that we were doing some work on maritime developments in the
region from the Persian Gulf to the East China Sea and Sea of Japan. Below are key findings from the report, but the
main takeaway is that the political impact of Chinese military modernization may be greater than a narrow technical
analysis of China's capabilities would suggest, and for a range of reasons, technical and political, prospects for regional
cooperation are limited, but pathways to conflict are numerous and increasing.
All best, Jackie
Key findings from the workshop include:
Chinese naval modernization has proceeded at rates higher than

forecast 10 years ago and has created the capability to complicate operation of US carrier battle groups within 1,000
kilometers of the Chinese coastline.
The Indian Ocean may in the coming decades be the operating area of
SSBNs from countries with limited experience in sustained SSBN patrols, including India, China, and possibly Pakistan.
Chinese maritime relations with countries along the littoral area

have continued to develop, with a new friendly relationship emerging with Sri Lanka, to complement the existing
relations with Myanmar and Pakistan. This may lead to a new form of "blue-brown water" naval operations, in which
Chinese naval forces operate far from Chinese bases, but close to the coasts of client states.
The workshop tended to the conclusion that the trends in the region were not such as to make maritime cooperation
easy. These trends
include:
Japanese concern that Chinese dominance in the waters within 1,000
miles of Chinese territory has immediate consequences for Japan's maritime autonomy.
Indian suspicion of Chinese naval developments in Hainan Island,

Chinese development of port infrastructure in Pakistan and Myanmar, and the possibility of Chinese ballistic missile
submarines operating close to India.
Indian interest in SSBNs, plus Chinese SSBN ports in Hainan and

even, possibly, Pakistani SSBNs, all of which creates the possibility of multiple SSBN patrols in the Indian Ocean, along
with the potential for naval nuclear accidents at sea.
Asymmetries in levels of operational competence, and technology, in

submarines and maritime aviation, which, for example, make functional multi-national naval cooperation harder for
states that are afraid of revealing technologies or weaknesses.
The major role of land-based maritime warfare strike complexes in

this region, which means that war at sea always carries with it the risk of escalation to strikes on ground targets in
homeland areas.
The report also offers two scenarios under which the United States may consider engaging militarily in the region.
The first scenario, which concerns a clash between Japan and China in waters claimed by both, compels us to consider:
The circumstances under which the Chinese may seek to demonstrate

that their new maritime capabilities must be taken seriously and respected, and
What the United States would lose if it did not support the
Japanese, and then faced a world in which Japan became either a subordinate power to China or a nuclear armed state,
capable of pursuing its national interest independent of the United States.
The second scenario concerns an American naval blockade of an Iran that has tested a nuclear weapon, potentially
giving rise to an interaction between the United States and China far from the operating bases of each but close to
territory of a client of China, a "blue-brown water" clash. In this scenario, China is using its navy to show presence, and
to force the United States to ask itself whether it wants to go to war with China over a political conflict that is less than
black and white. Thinking about the options that would be left to the United States under these circumstances
underscores how Chinese naval forces may have more political impact by 2025 than a narrow assessment of their
military capabilities would suggest.

Palau offended by US positions
Below is the statement of very impressive Palau reps at the end of a session of required meetings on the next
phase of free association aid. FYI only, the Palauans were insulted by the nature and depth of the response to
their proposal as well as the content and the overall approach. They are even privately questioning the
relationship. (This hasn't affected their intent to take the Uighurs.) I will send a few further thoughts.
At the conclusion of yesterday's meeting, the Palau delegation caucused to discuss its reaction to the response of the United
States delegation to the proposals that it made in June in Washington D.C., and expanded upon in subsequent communications.
While the Palau delegation has agreed to respond to certain additional questions raised by the United States delegation on specific
elements of the Palau proposal, and further has agreed to participate in certain working groups on specific issues, the Palau
delegation was deeply disappointed with the response of the United States delegation. The United States delegation did not
seriously respond, as required by the Compact, to the operational requirements of the Government of Palau or to Palau's
comprehensive and considered plans to achieve economic advancement and self-sufficiency.
In light of the foregoing, the Palau delegation has determined that it must now return to Palau to discuss with President Toribiong
the next steps that Palau needs to take regarding the Compact. Thank you.

DeclaraciOn a la prensa
Oscar Arias Sanchez
Presidertte de la RepUblica de Costa Rica
10 de julio de 2009
Estimables miembros de la prensa nacional e internacional, amigas y amigos:
Antes que nada, quiero agradecerles su presencia aqui durante las Ultimas horas, y
la fidelidad con que han seguido nuestros esfuerzos por alcanzar una soluci6n pacffica al
conflicto hondurerio. Una prensa que aguarda paciente los productos del dialog, en lugar
de los productos del odio, del enfrentamiento o de la guerra, es en s misma un simbolo
democratic. A traves de ustedes, el mundo ha hecho una vigilia por la paz en Honduras.
Como es de su conocimiento, el martes 7 de julio los dos sectores involucrados en
este conflict solicitaron mi mediaciOn para dialogar sobre sus dfferencias. Acepte sin
dudarlo, porque estoy convencido de que ningtin costarricense debe negarse jamas a
permitir que prevalezca el dialog sobre la intransigencia, el perdOn sobre el rencor o el
acuerdo sobre la fuerza. El mandato de nuestra historia es darle la 'nano a quien quiera
transitar las sendas de la democracia, porque sabemos que eso no disminuye sino que
dignifica a nuestro pueblo. For eso, desde el dia de ayer abri las puertas de :mi propio
hogar para recibir a los representantes hondurerios. Ambos sectores expusieron dos
versiones muy distintas de los hechos ocurridos en su pals, antes y despues del 28 de jtmio
pasado. Asi se empiezan a sanar las heridas de un conflicto: hablando de frente con la
verdad.
Ayer les dije que esto tomaria tiempo. Pero insistire hasta el cansancio que en la
larga epopeya de la humanidad, el paso dedsivo es siempre el pr-imero. Los hermanos
hondurerios han dado aqui ese paso, se han visto a los ojos y han hablado con franqueza.
Eso es, por su cuenta, un logro capital para su pals. Ambos sectores han afirmado su
convicciOn de que es con el verbo, y no con la polvora, con que se escribiran los trazos de
su reconciliacion. En ningtin momento hemos escuchado insultos ni amenazas en las
conversaciones sostenidas. En ningtin momento los sectores se han dejado de escuchar.
Ambos han acordado continuar con las conversaciones a la mayor brevedad posible, y no
descansar hasta akanzar un acuerdo que resuelva esta crisis.
Costa Rica continuara mediartdo mientras se lo sigan pidiendo los sectores
involucradas. Si algo en nuestra historia o en nuestra cultura puede servir para traer
trartquilidad a nuestros hermanos, no dudaremos en prestar nuestro servicio. Porque
sabemos que en ausencia de dialog, una visi6n debe necesariamente aniquilar a la otra.
Solo en el dialog, dos versiones clistintas de una misma realidad pueden convivir. Para
quienes no creen en lo que estamos haciendo aqui, para quienes fustigan nuestras
intenciones, les digo que no sere yo, ni los delegados que tan arduamente han trabaj ado,
quienes desmentiremos sus acusaciones. Seran los acuerdos que los sectores alcancen. Sera
la paz que regresara a Honduras. Sera la estabilidad que solo surgira de las voluntades
conjuntas de ambos sectores. Estas puertas son a prueba de balas retoricas, y asi como hace
veintidos arios no nos desalentaron los oscuros presagios de quienes veian el dialog como
un obstaculo, y no como un fin, esta vez tampoco nos van a desalentar. No mandare a
callar a nadie. Nunca ha sido mi estilo. Yo lucho por principios y no contra personas. For
eso seguire defendiendo esos principios, que son los de la paz, el entendimiento y la
2
voluntad para alcanzar acuerdos. Y la mejor forma de defenderlos es estar aqui, donde me
llamen.
En los prOximos dias anunciaremos la fecha de nuesto siguiente encuentro. Sepan,
desde ahora, que sera de nuevo un encuentro respetuoso y franco, con el fin Ultimo de
robustecer la democracia en Honduras y permitir la gobernabilidad. Una vez mas pido
que nos dejen a los centroamericanos resolver los problemas de los centroamericanos, tal y
como lo hicimos veintidOs atios eras. Porque hemos madurado mas y lo podemos
demostrar.
Al pueblo de Honduras, le pido que conserve sus anhelos, que continue con sus
oraciones, que no quite la mirada del horizonte donde despuntara el sol de un nuevo dia.
No destruyan, con violencia, lo que hemos constTuido aqui con esperanza. Porque en la
democracia, mas que en ningan otro sistema, siempre hay una segunda oportunidad.
Siempre hay razon para esperar con ilusiOn. Sus lideres han demostrado que estan
dispuestos a escribir de nuevo la historia. Y aqui en Costa Rica tenemos papel y lapiz de
sobra. Seran bienvenidos cualquier dia, a cualquier hora.
Muchas gracias.

A US Expo 2010 pavilion, after all.

http://shanghaiscrap.com/?p=3350
Filed under:Expo 2010, Expo 2010 - US Pavilion, US Politics posted by Adam on July 11, 2009 @ 7:00 am
Coming at the end of a tumultuous week in China marked by earthquakes, riots, and continued economic
uncertainty, the news that the US had finally confirmed that its participation in Expo 2010 (a/k/a, next year's
world fair) didn't seem particularly significant. And, with much of Shanghai's foreign correspondent corps
preoccupied with more pressing news elsewhere in China, it didn't receive much coverage. Fair enough, I think.
However, insofar as the US pavilion or lack thereof had become an increasingly thorny diplomatic issue
between China and the United States, the signing ceremony was an important signal that some kind of
resolution was at hand.
I've been following the mostly sad saga of the US pavilion for several months now, both on Shanghai Scrap,
and elsewhere. And, until two weeks ago, there was absolutely no reason to believe that a participation
agreement would ever be signed. Shanghai Expo, Inc., a non-profit authorized by the US State Department to
fund-raise, design, build, and operate a US pavilion, had failed to raise sufficient funds to break ground. At
yesterday's signing ceremony, Beatrice Camp, the US Consul General in Shanghai blamed the underwhelming
fundraising on the global economic crisis a point that was picked up by the Chinese media. No doubt, the
141
economic crisis played a role, but as Camp and others close to the US effort surely know, the other important
factor was the inexperienced and increasingly erratic trio running the non-profit Shanghai Expo, Inc. As
recently as last month, one of its members Frank Lavin, a former US ambassador to Singapore and
Undersecretary of Commerce issued a press release falsely claiming that the US Congress had "adopted" a
resolution in support of the US pavilion. This incident; and others like it, succeeded in alienating potential
donors (including major US corporations with operations in China), vast swaths of the US expatriate business
community in Shanghai, and most crucially members of the Shanghai government. For those of us
following the events, the question was no longer "How badly will the US damage its relationship with China if
it doesn't participate?" but instead became "What's worse for US-China relations? Turning down Shanghai's
Expo invite or continuing the current, incompetent effort?"
The July 1 appointment of Jose Villarreal as Commissioner General to the US pavilion effort seems to have
changed the equation. A lawyer with ties to the Clintons, Secretary of State Clinton empowered him to oversee
the US effort. He didn't waste any time, either, arriving in Shanghai on Monday, and managing to pull of the
signing on Friday. One person familiar with Villarreal's role described it as the arrival of an "adult" to a chaotic
situation that badly needed one. Indeed, if there's one telling detail to the handful of official and press accounts
of yesterday's signing, it's the total absence of the Shanghai Expo, Inc. members from the official comments
and photos (US Consulate coverage here; Shanghai government account here), none of whom live or work in
Shanghai, anyway. If that was a conscious decision, it was a wise one.
A final point. As Villarreal conceded, the US effort must still raise roughly half of its $61 million budget. I
suspect that with Villarreal in charge of the effort reluctant wallets will become less so. Regardless, though,
this raises a still unresolved question: namely, what are the actual fundraising rules for the US pavilion effort?
Back in 2007, the State Department indicated that it would not sign a participation agreement with Expo 2010,
Inc until all funds were raised for a pavilion. Apparently, that ill-conceived policy has changed. I say apparently
because, up until now, the State Department has refused to release the "action plan" that governs fundraising
and other rules related to the US pavilion in Shanghai. As a result of this official intransigence, a Freedom of
Information Act request has been filed to obtain this document(s?). Why the secrecy? It's anybody's guess, and
according to the State Department's FOIA office, we can keep guessing until Thanksgiving it's around then
that they'll get around to releasing the documents.
[UPDATE: Just received notice that groundbreaking for the US pavilion will be on July 17 at 10:30 AM.
Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke will be present.]

Dear Nora,
Please pass along the following message to Cheryl.
Thanks,
Jeff Sachs
Dear Cheryl,
Congratulations on the launch of the $20b G8 initiative. This will stand as a historic success of President Obama and
Secretary Clinton. Please do convey my personal congratulations and gratitude to Secretary Clinton if you have a
moment to do so. I know what a key role you personally played in bringing this to fruition.
I would like to suggest one overarching strategy for success.
Please do push hard on the donors (USAID included!) to pool the donor resources into one, at most two, multilateral
funding streams. Certainly the World Bank should be the main spigot, and IFAD possibly a second. By pooling the

A US Expo 2010 pavilion, after all.

http://sharighaiscrap.com/?p=3350
Filed under:Expo 2010, Expo 2010 - US Pavilion, US Politics posted by Adam on July 11, 2009 @ 7:00 am
Coming at the end of a tumultuous week in China marked by earthquakes, riots, and continued economic
uncertainty, the news that the US had finally confirmed that its participation in Expo 2010 (a/k/a, next year's
world fair) didn't seem particularly significant. And, with much of Shanghai's foreign correspondent corps
preoccupied with more pressing news elsewhere in China, it didn't receive much coverage. Fair enough, I think.
However, insofar as the US pavilion or lack thereof had become an increasingly thorny diplomatic issue
between China and the United States, the signing ceremony was an important signal that some kind of
resolution was at hand.
I've been following the mostly sad saga of the US pavilion for several months now, both on Shanghai Scrap,
and elsewhere. And, until two weeks ago, there was absolutely no reason to believe that a participation
agreement would ever be signed. Shanghai Expo, Inc., a non-profit authorized by the US State Department to
fund-raise, design, build, and operate a US pavilion, had failed to raise sufficient funds to break ground. At
yesterday's signing ceremony, Beatrice Camp, the US Consul General in Shanghai blamed the underwhelming
fundraising on the global economic crisis a point that was picked up by the Chinese media. No doubt, the
economic crisis played a role, but as Camp and others close to the US effort surely know, the other important
factor was the inexperienced and increasingly erratic trio running the non-profit Shanghai Expo, Inc. As
recently as last month, one of its members Frank Lavin, a former US ambassador to Singapore and
Undersecretary of Commerce issued a press release falsely claiming that the US Congress had "adopted" a
resolution in support of the US pavilion. This incident, and others like it, succeeded in alienating potential
donors (including major US corporations with operations in China), vast swaths of the US expatriate business
community in Shanghai, and most crucially members of the Shanghai government. For those of us
following the events, the question was no longer "How badly will the US damage its relationship with China if
it doesn't participate?" but instead became "What's worse for US-China relations? Turning down Shanghai's
Expo invite or continuing the current, incompetent effort?"
The July 1 appointment of Jose Villarreal as Commissioner General to the US pavilion effort seems to have
changed the equation. A lawyer with ties to the Clintons, Secretary of State Clinton empowered him to oversee
the US effort. He didn't waste any time, either, arriving in Shanghai on Monday, and managing to pull of the
signing on Friday. One person familiar with Villarreal's role described it as the arrival of an "adult" to a chaotic
situation that badly needed one. Indeed, if there's one telling detail to the handful of official and press accounts
of yesterday's signing, it's the total absence of the Shanghai Expo, Inc. members from the official comments
and photos (US Consulate coverage here; Shanghai government account here), none of whom live or work in
Shanghai, anyway. If that was a conscious decision, it was a wise one.
A final point. As Villarreal conceded, the US effort must still raise roughly half of its $61 million budget. I
suspect that with Villarreal in charge of the effort reluctant wallets will become less so. Regardless, though,
150
this raises a still unresolved question: namely, what are the actual fundraising rules for the US pavilion effort?
Back in 2007, the State Department indicated that it would not sign a participation agreement with Expo 2010,
Inc until all funds were raised for a pavilion. Apparently, that ill-conceived policy has changed. I say apparently
because, up until now, the State Department has refused to release the "action plan" that governs fundraising
and other rules related to the US pavilion in Shanghai. As a result of this official intransigence, a Freedom of
Information Act request has been filed to obtain this document(s?). Why the secrecy? It's anybody's guess, and
according to the State Department's FOIA office, we can keep guessing until Thanksgiving it's around then
that they'll get around to releasing the documents.
[UPDATE: Just received notice that groundbreaking for the US pavilion will be on July 17 at 10:30 AM.
Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke will be present.]

Washington Post I A Dose of Realism in Honduras

By Edward Schumacher-Matos
Sunday, July 12, 2009
Sometimes you have to give political leaders credit.

President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are on the verge of achieving their own coup in
Honduras and advancing American interests with a deftness not seen from Washington in many years.
The president's reference to Honduras during his trip to Moscow reflects how the small Central American
country is but a pawn as the administration pushes the reset button globally and in the hemisphere.
Justice may not be totally served in Honduras, but the country is likely to end up better off anyway.
"America cannot and should not seek to impose any system of government on any other country," Obama said
in Russia, "nor would we presume to choose which party or individual should run a country. . . . Even as we
meet here today, America supports now the restoration of the democratically elected president of Honduras,
even though he has strongly opposed American policies. We do so not because we agree with him. We do so
because we respect the universal principle that people should choose their own leaders."
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case NOTF-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762786 Date: 06/30/2015
The immediate lesson was to teach Russia to stay out of Georgia and Ukraine. The message, however, also
resonated throughout Latin America, undercutting the polarization efforts of Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez.
That the administration has joined with the Organization of American States in condemning the ouster of
Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has left Chavez puffing a lot of hot air with no one to fight against.
When three Chavez allies -- the presidents of Argentina, Ecuador and Paraguay -- sought unsuccessfully to
escort Zelaya back to Honduras on Venezuelan planes, they looked irresponsible for setting off violence that
resulted in one death. Clinton, meanwhile, working quietly with Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and other
moderate countries, has brought the two opposing Honduran camps together in a mediation with one of the
grand old men of Latin America, Costa Rican Oscar Arias, a Nobel Peace laureate.
There is now genuine movement toward a peaceful resolution of the crisis.
The United States, long seen as a bully in the region, is suddenly being seen as respectful and wise. The
flummoxed Chavez could only come up with a patently hilarious formula in which the "Yankee empire" was
still the villain in Honduras but Obama may not be responsible because he is more like a prisoner of the
empire."
More fundamentally, Obama and Clinton, perhaps because neither is particularly experienced in Latin America,
have approached the region with fresh eyes and wonder what all the fuss is about. The Moscow speech and their
actions in Honduras underline that the Cold War really is over.
Chavez is a nuisance, but Washington has no enemies in Latin America. Our major interests are immigration,
crime and trade, not ideologies, as much as the extremists on the right and the left there and here might want to
make it so.
So, are we sacrificing Honduras? No. Zelaya is the main culprit in this crisis, but what counts is the rule of law.
His hand has been slapped very hard. Allowing him to serve out the last six months of his term while not
holding the referendum that would have opened the way to succession has a better chance of bringing peace and
stability to the country than the current standoff.
The bigger question will be: What have the rest of us learned? We have all been pushing Latin Americans to
uphold the rule of law, but beyond simply insisting that Zelaya was elected, few in the OAS, the European
Union or other critics have been willing to give much credence to Hondurans for trying to do just that.
The Honduran Supreme Court, as it is empowered to do under the constitution, ordered the army to arrest
Zelaya after he began to carry out a referendum for a constitutional convention that the court, Congress and his
own attorney general said was illegal. Yet, many Latin American and European governments still call it a
"military coup" or, as the Associated Press called it several days afterward, a "military power grab." Clinton and
Obama dropped calling it a coup.
There are gray areas having to do with presidential powers and the fact that the Honduran constitution prohibits
extradition of citizens. The army exiled Zelaya in consultation with civilian leaders to avoid precisely the sort of
violence seen when Zelaya tried to return. He forced the country and its institutions against the wall, and for
that he should take his medicine.

Below is the statement of very impressive Palau reps at the end of a session of required meetings on the next phase of
free association aid. FYI only, the Palauans were insulted by the nature and depth of the response to their proposal as
well as the content and the overall approach. They are even privately questioning the relationship. (This hasn't affected
their intent to take the Uighurs.) I will send a few further thoughts.
At the conclusion of yesterday's meeting, the Palau delegation caucused to discuss its reaction to the response of the
United States delegation to the proposals that it made in June in Washington D.C., and expanded upon in subsequent
communications.
While the Palau delegation has agreed to respond to certain additional questions raised by the United States delegation
on specific elements of the Palau proposal, and further has agreed to participate in certain working groups on specific
issues, the Palau delegation was deeply disappointed with the response of the United States delegation. The United
States delegation did not seriously respond, as required by the Compact, to the operational requirements of the
Government of Palau or to Palau's comprehensive and considered plans to achieve economic advancement and selfsufficiency.
In light of the foregoing, the Palau delegation has determined that it must now return to Palau to discuss with President
Toribiong the next steps that Palau needs to take regarding the Compact. Thank you.

Cheryl,
Can you believe that I doubted you ????????? I am so, so embarrassed! It is June 28th and I am now just reading your
message of March 22d in response to my message of March 22d!!!
For three months I have been thinking that I must have done something unknowingly and stupidly to have offended you. I
have been struggling to remember what I might have done except to praise you too much!
I just feel so, so good, but also ashamed for having doubted you! I might be pathetic, but at least I am honest and
transparent!
(By the way, please extend SoS my best wishes for a speedy recovery.)
Warmest regards,

Cheryl,
Wow, it has been 10 or so years since the "trial" before the U.S. Congress where I last saw you. Of course, I have followed your
career ever since through John who as you know still calls you one of "his" stars.

I am sorry to bother you on a weekend, but our mutual friend was kind enough to give me your email address and to suggest that I
send you a copy of the letter concerning INTERPOL that I have drafted for the SOS. Although I have finalized the draft, I can't put it
on INTERPOL letterhead until tomorrow.
The purpose of the letter is to seek a meeting with the SOS at a time and place of her choosing. I will be in Washington this Tuesday
and Wednesday which I know would be too soon to schedule a meeting. But, I can return on April 8th or thereafter if you believe that
a meeting would be possible.
In closing, you know me; so if my request has not been expressed in just the right way, please forgive me.
Let me know what you would like me to do next after reading my letter for the SOS which follows.
Best regards,
Ron
"Madame Secretary,
Under the Obama Presidency and your leadership at the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Government has shifted its strategic focus
from a predominantly military-led approach to one using "smart power" based on diplomacy, defense and development. The direction
you've chosen and the commitments you have made - to international organizations that advance collective security, to embracing and
implementing global solutions to security - are a vast improvement over prior policy and constitute the best approach to safeguarding
the United States and countries around the world against terrorism.
During my eight years as INTERPOL's Secretary General and based on having visited 123 countries to learn firsthand what their
security concerns were and how to best address them, my INTERPOL team and I have identified a number of serious global security
gaps which put Americans and citizens all over the world at risk to acts of terrorism and other serious crimes but which could be easily
closed. Surprisingly, and until now, no government has made INTERPOL and the role of international law enforcement in protecting
its citizens from acts of terrorism a real priority. Consequently, significant gaps in global security remain which require the immediate
attention of Heads of State or Ministers of State, Justice and Interior and the private sector.
These dangerous but resolvable problems include
1.The 850 million international arrivals that pass through the world's airports each year without being checked against the only global
database of over 10 million stolen and lost passports developed and managed by INTERPOL.
2. The culture which discourages countries from issuing international alerts when terrorists escape from prison.
3. The gap in policing where terrorists are arrested without their fingerprints and DNA profiles being compared against global
databases.
4. The failure of far too many countries to notify INTERPOL when their citizens' passports have been reported lost or stolen, which
significantly undermines any screening of passports used to enter the U.S. or other counties.
5. The lack of global anti-crime and anti-corruption centers, which leaves us under-protected against the scourge of human
trafficking, slavery, and other serious transnational crimes.
6. The absence of robust facilities world-wide where police can work, train and exchange information under the umbrella of
INTERPOL.
7. The threat to the rule of law that requires well-trained police at the national and international levels especially in post-conflict
areas like Afghanistan.
INTERPOL has launched its Global Security Initiative in order to enhance support for developing effective and growing programs in
each of these seven areas. Our capacity to address these threats can grow not only with greater resources but also with a larger
personal commitment to the kinds of policies that reflect the direction that you and President Obama have chosen in the name of
national security.
INTERPOL is a global international police organization with 187 member countries. Our Constitution prevents us from getting
involved in matters of a political, religious, military or racial nature. We have one goal and one goal only: to help law enforcement
worldwide keep their citizens and visitors to their country safe from terrorism and other forms of serious international crime.
89
Our successes over the last several years have been nothing short of extraordinary. More terrorists and dangerous international
criminals have been identified, located and arrested than ever before. The security of more borders has been enhanced. More police
information has been exchanged globally. More international pedophiles have been caught. More transnational crime groups have
been exposed.
Against the backdrop of this success, it remains the case that neither Heads of State nor Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Justice and
Interior have made the kind of investment in INTERPOL worldwide that can help to keep their citizens safe at home and
abroad. They should and you can be a leader among them.
It is my strong belief that in your capacity as U.S. Secretary of State, you can show the world that by making INTERPOL an integral
part of the U.S.'s new "smart power" strategy, all of the world's citizens will be safer than they otherwise would be. I would welcome
any opportunity to travel to Washington or anywhere in the world to meet with you to offer recommendations for solving the problems
outlined above and to discuss the range of resources required to meet these challenges.
Sincerely,
Ronald K. Noble
Secretary General
INTERPOL"

According to conversations between A/S Shannon and the Honduran Ambassador, shots were fired outside of
President Zelaya's residence in Tegucigalpa, and members of the armed forces have reportedly seized the
President. U.S. Ambassador Llorens has received the same report in conversations with Zelaya's personal

Subject: RE: Honduran President Zelaya Reportedly Seized by Armed Forces
I am in the office and working with our Embassy in Tegucigalpa. Apparently, the action this morning was a coordinated
effort by the Supreme Court, the Honduran Congress, and the armed forces to prevent President Zelaya from holding a
non-binding poll on a possible constituent assembly. The Supreme Court determined the poll illegal and ordered the
military to collect all balloting materials. In the process of doing this, the military also seized Zelaya and supposedly sent
him by aircraft to Costa Rica.
Our Ambassador has his Emergency Action Committee convened at the Embassy. They are reaching out to all their
contacts to determine the current state of play. The Embassy will issue a warden message soon to U.S. citizens in
Honduras regarding events. I have called our Embassy in Costa Rica and asked it to confirm Zelaya's presence in San
Jose. I will be calling the Costa Rican Foreign Minister soon. Tomorrow, Costa Rica takes over as President Pro Temp of
the Central American Integration System.
Hector Morales has been in touch with OAS SecGen Insulza. The OAS Permanent Council passed a resolution on Friday
offering its good offices to Honduras to resolve the political impasse, and Insulza was going to lead a team to Honduras
on Monday. We are checking to determine the state of play of the delegation, but OAS involvement will be key to a
successful resolution of this event.
I will also be calling the new SouthCom Commander to ensure a coordinated U.S. approach. We have big military
equities in Honduras through Joint Task Force Bravo at Soto Cano airbase.
We are working up press points now. Although this morning's events were part of a larger political and institutional
struggle in Honduras. The seizure and expulsion of the President was an intolerable act by the armed forces and we are
going to have to say this loud and clear.

I've been hearing really incredible feedback on the secretary's speech. One thing that people keep saying is that this is
the first time they can recall a secretary getting "technical" on the issue. Often times leaders just tell feel good
stories. I think we really took a big step forward by laying out our vision for food security through the seven areas of
focus and how we'll work through country-led processes like CAADP. People also really like how Megan made that great
connection between Ejeta's life work and our plan going forward. Megan did a great job laying out the lab to farm to
market to table. That's exactly what we're going for and what hasn't been articulated well in the past. Let's keep the
dialogue at a high level and really challenge people on this issue in the future not just regurgitate USAID success stories
like we did during the Bush years!

Spanish FM Moratinos has requested to speak with you today. Tom can give u verbal download but below are basic
points. Let me know if u want us to set up call
Points:
- We condemn the effort to remove Zelaya from office.
- We are working within the OAS and with our regional partners to resolve this situation quickly and in a manner that
restores democratic order.
- We appreciate the role Spain played in winning quick EU condemnation of the coup attempt.
- Our work is not done. Rebuilding trust among competing political institutions and reducing polarization within
Honduras will take a lot of work. We hope Spain will work with us and the OAS to ensure a restoration of democratic
order that will allow Honduras to carry through with it electoral timetable (presidential vote scheduled for November)
Note from torn:
Aside from the statements issued by the President and the Secretary, we have been working in the OAS Permanent
Council fashioning a consensus resolution mapping out a path forward, reaching out to regional partners ( I have spoken
twice with Salvadoran President Funes, and our Ambassadors have been working with other Central American leaders),
and working within Honduras to limit the damage to Honduras institutions.

Subject: Hillary Consulted Republicans, Neocons, And Liberals For Big Foreign Policy Speech
The Plum Line

Greg Sargent's blog
Hillary Consulted Republicans, Neocons, And Liberals For Big
Foreign Policy Speech
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has consulted with a surprisingly diverse ideological bunch in the course of
creating the major foreign policy speech she plans to deliver tomorrow, including Republicans like Henry
Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft and George Schultz, and onetime neocons like Francis Fukuyama, a source familiar
with the speech-writing process tells me.
Hillary is set to deliver her high-profile speech at the Council on Foreign Relations, and is set to articulate her
own policy agenda, one focused on strengthening America's "smart power," according to The Politico. It could
help settle whether she has privately favored a more hawkish stance towards hostile foreign powers, as she
reportedly has.
The array of people she has consulted for this speech is striking in its diversity, boasting a notable array of
Republicans, foreign policy "realists" and hawkish voices. A partial list:
Henry Kissinger, Nixon's secretary of state; George Schultz, Reagan's secretary of state; Zbigniew
Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter's hawkish "realist" foreign policy adviser; Paul Farmer, a doctor and international
humanitarian; Joseph Nye, a major proponent of "soft power," the idea that persuasion and attraction can be
more effective than coercion; Francis Fukuyama, who helped drive the rise of neoconservatism; Brent
Scowcroft; the "realist" national security adviser under George H.W. Bush; Strobe Talbott, Clinton's deputy
secretary of state; John Podesta, the head of the liberal Center for American Progress; and Richard Lugar, the
Republican Senator who has praised Obama's response to the Iran crisis.
Hillary has also consulted with administration figures like President Obama himself, Defense Secretary Robert
Gates, and national security adviser James Jones.
193
Obviously there's someone here for everyone, and someone here for everyone to dislike, too. The array of
people she consulted strongly suggests that she views the speech as an extremely important moment for both the
Obama administration and for her own tenure.

Great news from Chevron! Just spoke to the senior VP for govt affairs, who confirmed that CEO Dave O'Reilly"s letter to
S meant that Chevron has signed on to be a global partner at 5 mil so we're moving closer to our goal, thanks to her!
Maybe that could entice the press to do a story now on her leadership.i

end to try to tie in with how it started to bring full circle.
OK.
An area where you could save time and space (but I didn't try to change it) would be to shorten the parts where
you talk about Israel and Palestine and about Iraq and Afghanistan - it seems to me that those are tactical
discussions of an existing issue, and somewhat removed from the more abstract and strategic policy outline
she's otherwise aiming at here.
By the way, the phrase "global network of diverse partnerships" seems to be absent now. I kind of liked it on
several levels, but I presume it met some objection along the way...

111TH CONGRESS
1ST SESSION
So
To strengthen the capacity, transparency, and accountability of United States

foreign assistance programs to effectively adapt and respond to new
challenges of the 21st century, and for other purposes.
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

Mr. KERRY introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred
to the Committee on
A BILL
To strengthen the capacity, transparency, and accountability
of United States foreign assistance programs to effectively adapt and respond to new challenges of the 21st
century, and for other purposes.
1
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

3 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
4
This Act may be cited as the "Foreign Assistance Re-
5 vitalization and Accountability Act of 2009".

(1) ADMINISTRATOR.Except as otherwise pro-
vided, the term "Adniinistrator" means the Adminis-
trator of the United States Agency for International
Development.
(2) AGENCY.Except as otherwise provided,
the term "Agency" means the United States Agency
for International Development.
(3) APPROPRIATE CONGRESSIONAL COM1\IIT-
TEES.The term "appropriate congressional corn-
10
mittees" means the Committee on Foreign Relations
11
of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs

of the House of Representatives.

(4) SECRETARY.Except as otherwise provided,
14
the term "Secretary" means the Secretary of State.
15 SEC. 3. FINDINGS.
16
Congress makes the following findings:
17
(1) Poverty and hunger, lack of opportunity,
18
gender inequality, and environmental degradation
19
are recognized as significant contributors to socio-
20
economic and political instability, as well as to the
21
exacerbation of disease pandemics and other global
22
health threats.
23
(2) The 2006 National Security Strategy of the
24
United States notes, "America's national interests

and moral values drive us in the same direction: to

assist the world's poor citizens and least developed
nations and help integrate them into the global econ-
omy.22.
(3) The bipartisan Final Report of the National
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United
States (9/11 Commission Report) recommends, "A
comprehensive United States strategy to counter ter-
rorism should include. economic policies that encour-
age development, more open societies, and opportu-
10
nities for people to improve the lives of their families
11
and enhance prospects for their children.".
12
(4) The alleviation of poverty and hunger is in
13
the national interest of the United States. It im-
14
proves United States security by mitigating the un-
15
derlying causes of violence and extremism, addresses
16
threats like climate change and pandemic disease,
17
expands economic opportunities for producers and
18
consumers in the United States, demonstrates
19
United States leadership to the world, and rep-
20
resents the values, humanitarianism, and generosity
21
of the American people.
22
(5) Elevating the standing of the United States
23
in the world represents a critical and essential ele-
24
ment for any strategy to improve national and global
25
security by mitigating the root causes of conflict and

multinational terrorism, strengthening diplomatic
and economic relationships, preventing global cli-
mate change curbing weapons proliferation, and fos-
tering peace and cooperation between all nations.
(6) Currently the global development policies
and programs of the United States Government are
scattered across 12 different Federal departments,
25 different Federal agencies, and nearly 60 Federal
Government offices. The current law governing for-
10
eign assistance is outdated, cumbersome, and lacks
11
relevance for modern challenges, articulating at least
12
140 broad priorities for United States development
13
efforts, with at least 400 specific directives on how
14
to implement those broad priorities. Moreover, it al-
15
lows the budget process to drive priorities, rather
16
than setting clear priorities that drive resource deci-
17
sions.
18
(7) The international and domestic challenges
19
of the 21st centuryincluding transnational threats
20
such as economic instability, terrorism, climate
21
. change, and diseasecannot be met with a foreign
22
assistance apparatus that was created to confront
23
the challenges of the 20th century. The cornerstone
24
for a new foreign assistance architecture begins with
25
reform of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 that

ensures a . rationalized organizational structure for a
strengthened development agency, a concise set of
development priorities rebuilt human resource ca-
pacity, strengthened monitoring and evaluation, re-
invigorated policy and intellectual expertise, with
sufficient resources and commensurate account-
ability to achieve key foreign assistance goals.
(8) President Barack Obama has expressed a
commitment to cut extreme poverty and hunger
10
around the world in half, and to increase the level
11
of United States foreign assistance to meet that
12
goal.
13 SEC. 4. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

14
It is the policy of the United States, given the impor-
15 tance of global prosperity and security to the national in16 terests of the United States, to .promote global develop17 ment and the reduction of poverty and hunger. In support
18 of this policy, a reform and rebuilding process should be
19 initiated that will redefine the United States foreign as20 sistance architecture and strengthen the capacity of the
21 United States Agency for International Development and
22 related agencies to establish effective development policies
23 and implement innovative and effective foreign assistance
24 programs with maximum impact.

(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS ON BUILDING THE POLICY
4 CAPACITY OF
USAID.It is the sense of Congress that-
(1) there has been too little emphasis in recent
years in developing the capacity of the Agency to
formulate international development policy and to
integrate important policy initiatives and innovative
policy concepts. into Agency programs and activities;
10
(2) the Agency should increase its emphasis on
11
recruiting, hiring, training, and enhancing profes-
12
sional officers who will support the Agency's role in
13
formulating development policy and enhancing inno-
14
v.ative solutions to development challenges;
15.
(3) there is a particular need to strengthen pol-
16
icy formulation and development in missions world-
17
wide, in addition to strengthening the capacity of the
18
Agency to address policy issues in headquarters in
19
Washington, District of Columbia, which should be
20
dealt with by deploying policy officers to missions
21
worldwide; and
22
(4) a Bureau for Policy and Strategic Planning
23
should ensure that policy concepts and priorities are
24
appropriately integrated into all programs and ac-
25
tivities undertaken by the Agency.

(1) The American public and Congress must

have confidence that-
(A) Federal funds allocated for foreign as-
sistance programs are used efficiently and effectively; and
(B) funding allocations and programs are
linked to clearly defined policy objectives.
(2) The December 2007 HELP Commission
Report on Foreign Assistance Reform states, "[T]he
10
systems. our government uses to evaluate develop-
11
ment and humanitarian assistance programs are ei-
12
ther in disarray or do not exist. Current systems
13
tend to focus more on outputs, such as counting how
14
many books are delivered to a school, rather than on
15
outcomes, such as measuring how many children can
16
actually read. Indeed, out of 26,285 impact evalua-
17
tions that USAID conducted between 1996 and
18
2005, only 30 measured the impact of projects.".
19
(3) The HELP Commission also recommends
20
that the United States Government reestablish an
21
independent Office of Monitoring and Evaluation re-
22
sponsible for foreign assistance operations and pro-
23
vide the office with sufficient funding to monitor and
24
evaluate performance that should be accountable to
25
Congress and to the executive branch.

not significantly updated the basic USAID mission

structure since it was first established in 1961; and

10
(b) PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION.-
11
(1) IN GENERAL.The President shall direct
12

15 sense of Congress that, in order to best assess the use

22
SEC. 11. OPERATING EXPENSES.
23
(a) FINDINGS.Congress makes the following find-
24 ings:
0AMDIMMD111095 G 0 xral
[Discussion Draft]
S.L.C.
63
1
(1) The separate account created by Congress
in 1976 to authorize and appropriate funds for all
operating expenses of the United States Agency for
International Development has been an important
tool to ensure transparency of administrative costs
and accountability of funds.
(2) Funding for the operating expenses of the
Agency has not kept pace with the growth of the
Agency's program funding and the expanded .geo-
10
graphic and sectoral demands for economic assist-
11
ance abroad.
12
(3) As a result, this has caused the Agency in
13
certain cases to fund selected administrative costs
14
out of program funds in order to properly admin-
15
ister, oversee, and implement its prOgrams and ac-
16
tivities, thus detracting from the goals of increased
17
transparency and accountability that establishment
18
of the separate operating expenses account was in-
19
tended to foster.
20
(4) A 2003 Government Accountability Office
21
report on the operating expenses of the Agency _
22
noted that "USAID's operating expense account
23
does not fully reflect the agency's cost of doing busi-
24
ness primarily because the agency pays for some ad-
25
rninistrative activities done by contractors and other
0:\MD1\RAIDA109560.xml
[Discussion Draft]
S.L.C.
64
1
nondirect-hire staff with program funds". and that
"Congress has increasingly encouraged the Agency
to use program funds to support certain administra-
tive costs".
(5) The December 2007 HELP Commission
Report on Foreign Assistance Reform states, "Over
time, the effectiveness of a separate OE budget has
eroded. During the past 30 years, Congress and the
Executive branch have allowed program funds to be
10
used to pay for the costs of activities once funded
11:
from the OE account while cutting the OE budget."
12
(6) The HELP Commission Report also rec-
13
ommends "[a]bolish[ing] the OE account and
14
replac[ing] it with a more accurate accounting proc-
15
ess," arguing that "the USAID OE account no
16
longer serves a useful purpose" and stating, "While
17
it might have been constructive in bringing clarity to
18
the cost of doing business in the 1970s,. another s-ys-
19
tem should be developed that calculates true admin-
20
istrative and management expenses, including. those
21
now funded with program or project funds. This new
22
system needs to allow administrative expenses to be
23
properly managed and monitored and needs to en-
24
sure that Congress receives clear, timely and trans-
25
parent information regarding these expenditures."
0AMDMMDM09560 xml
[Discussion Draft]
S.L.C.
65
1
(7) While Congress concurs with the HELP
Commission's recommendation that a major reas-
'3
sessment of the scope and the continued utility of
the operating expenses account structure is in order,
Congress also believes that the urgency of the issues
confronting Agency management in terms of hiring
tecImical expertise and providing the Agency with
the capacity to oversee and administer critical for-
eign assistance programs and functions, justifies
10
providing the Agency with broader discretion on
11
ways to support direct-hire staffing requirements.
12
(b) GUIDELINES FOR PROGRAM FUNDS.-
13
(1) IN
GENERAL.Subject to paragraph (2)
14
and except as otherwise authorized by law, program
15

Sir:
10 received and disseminated the draft Honduras GA resolution, which Honduras has asked us to co-sponsor, this
evening. President Zelaya addresses the General Assembly tomorrow morning at 11:00 am, so USUN needs to be
instructed this evening.
The bureaus are happy to co-sponsor, as long as the resolution stays substantively the same. The draft text is below:
Begin Draft Text

DRAFT RESOLUTION UNDER ITEM 20 OF THE AGENDA: CONCERNING THE SITUATION IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND
PROGRESS TOWARD A REGION OF PEACE, DEMOCRACY AND DEVELOPMENT
The General Assembly, concerned by the political and social events since June 28, 2009 in the Republic of Honduras;
Recalling the principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter, the OAS Charter, and the Inter-American
Democratic Charter;
Deeply concerned by the unconstitutional alteration of the democratic order, which has endangered security,
democracy and rule of law, and jeopardized the safety of Honduran citizens and foreigners;
111
1. Condemns the breaking of constitutional order in Honduras and the overthrow of the democratically elected
President Don Jose Manuel Zelaya Rosales,
2. Demands the restoration of President Jose Manuel Zelaya Rosales to his constitutional duties so that he may fulfill
the mandate for which he was elected by the Honduran population,
3. Refuses to recognize any Government of Honduras other than the constitutionally legitimate government of
President Zelaya.
4. Requests the Secretary-General inform the General Assembly on the progress of events in that country.
End Draft Text

Is it okay to co-sponsor the GA resolution?
The State bureaus are going to defer to USUN about whether we should announce that we are co-sponsors
Please let me know if you have an opinion on whether we should

announce our co-sponsorship in advance and I can share with 10/USUN.

Now with the change of location and jobs, I'm not sure who I should have, for Tony if he has me try to get a message to
her office.. I know this is a rare thing, but once in a while he would do that.
I'm just looking for a friendly name to talk to, to give me some (one of
two) names of people who if we called and said Tony Campolo . it would mean something and get the message to the
right person. to get to her. (Rare ocassion, remember that.)

HRC: Back this morning from Asia.

Congratulations on the speech. I think it came out great. And the reaction I have heard today has been very
positive.
Let raise an idea about how you could present the arrangement on settlements that you are seeking with Israel as
I understand it, i.e. a moratorium coupled with allowances to complete a number of housing units. There are
two ways:
1. To describe it as an agreement, explaining why the US has accepted an Israeli completion of a
handful of units whose construction already has begun. This raises some concerns. It would
represent U.S. legitimization of some (however small) Israeli activity in the West Bank and it
would trigger Arab and Palestinian complaints that we had compromised, sowing doubts about
our effectiveness.
2.
The alternative would be for the administration to say:
a. We have come a very long way, as Israel has made unprecedented commitments to the U.S. in terms of a
settlements freeze. This is a very welcome development.
b. We did not achieve all that we had hoped as Israel intends to complete a number of
housing units. We have differences with the Israeli government on this matter which we
have expressed to them..
c. That said, we are convinced that substantial progress has been made that warrants
an immediate resumption of peace talks as well as Arab steps toward Israel that will help
promote a two-state solution.
This latter option retains our credibility, does not compromise our oft-stated position and allows us to move
forward.
Of course, I am around if you want to discuss.
Good luck in India. They are very excited about your visit.

COMMENT
Clinton can deliver a tough message to India

By Strobe Talbott
Published: July 16 2009 20:06
When Hillary Clinton arrives in India on Friday, the US secretary of state will no doubt
strike the upbeat tone that befits relations between the world's two largest
democracies. But she is expected also to engage her hosts candidly on two issues that
have been contentious in the past and may be in future: climate change and nuclear
non-proliferation.
In both areas, President Barack Obama's positions are radically different from his
predecessor's. Unlike George W. Bush, Mr Obama understands the need for a rulesbased international system that will regulate and reduce levels of greenhouse gas
emissions and nuclear weaponry. In particular, Mr Bush, like the Republican-controlled
US Senate of the late 1990s, opposed the Kyoto protocol on climate change and the
ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). He also had little use for the
Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), even though it was largely an American
initiative going back to the dawn of the cold war.
Those Bush policies suited many Indians. In their view, a global regime to restrict
carbon emissions could hinder India's growth, while the CTBT and the NPT blocked
265
their right to develop the nuclear-weapons capability their government demonstrated

when it conducted a series of tests in 1998. Under Mr Bush, the US and India
negotiated a pact on co-operation in civil nuclear power that will, when the details of its
implementation are worked out, grant India an exemption from the terms of the NPT.
Mr Obama, however, is committed to ratifying the CTBT, strengthening the NPT, and
pursuing other treaties to prevent the spread of dangerous material and technology. He
also intends for the US to be part of the international effort to replace the Kyoto
protocol with a treaty-based climate-control regime including India, China and other
emerging powers.
As a result, on both proliferation and climate change, many Indians regard Mr Bush
with nostalgia and Mr Obama with muted apprehension. Mrs Clinton, however, is seen
as a staunch friend of India. Her trip there as first lady in 1995 helped break the ice in
US-Indian relations after 50 years of estrangement, paving the way for President Bill
Clinton's visit in 2000. She is therefore in an ideal position to deliver a message in New
Delhi that is both reassuring and cautionary.
The US administration knows it cannot coax or bully India into formally joining the NPT,
nor will it renege on the civil nuclear deal it inherited from Mr Bush. At the same time,
Washington policymakers hope that India's Congress party-led government, now that it
has been returned to power with an increased mandate, will join the US in tightening
the verification authorities of the International Atomic Energy Agency, accelerating
negotiations to stop the production of fissile material (the stuff at the core of nuclear
warheads) and bringing the CTBT into force.
These steps would make India's region safer, since Pakistan might follow suit in a
positive direction, just as it did in a negative one when it conducted a nuclear test
shortly after India's in 1998. A similar appeal to self-interest might prevail with respect
to climate change. Since much of India's population lives in rural and coastal areas, it
is acutely vulnerable to the devastation of agricultural lands and rising sea levels that
come with global warming.
Key figures in India are beginning to accept the idea of a global compact on climate
change. However, they are focused on the 12-to-1 disparity between the average
American's carbon footprint and the average Indian's. Therefore they want progress
towards parity in the final agreement. If the US achieves the 80 per cent cut in
emissions by 2050 that Mr Obama supports, the gap between the US and Indian
footprints per capita would shrink dramatically.
Indians (like many Americans) need to be persuaded to see the urgency of prompt
action. There are few voices more persuasive than that of the Indian scientist R. K.
Pachauri, the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change who shared the
2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore. He believes that the world has about six years
266
to impose drastic and effective reductions on greenhouse gases. That will only happen
if Mr Pachauri's and Mrs Clinton's governments can make common cause.

Dear Nora,
Please pass along the following message to Cheryl.
Thanks,
Jeff Sachs
Dear Cheryl,
Congratulations on the launch of the $20b G8 initiative. This will stand as a historic success of President Obama and
Secretary Clinton. Please do convey my personal congratulations and gratitude to Secretary Clinton if you have a
moment to do so. I know what a key role you personally played in bringing this to fruition.
I would like to suggest one overarching strategy for success.
Please do push hard on the donors (USAID included!) to pool the donor resources into one, at most two, multilateral
funding streams. Certainly the World Bank should be the main spigot, and IFAD possibly a second. By pooling the
resources, we'll cut down BY YEARS on the delays, donor negotiations, further talk, report writing, expert trips, etc., etc.,
which are now the biggest single threat to success of the initiative.
I look forward to a few minutes by phone or in person to offer some tips coming from long years of experience in this
sphere. This can be a real historic path-breaker, if its not swallowed in the agencies!
Warm regards and kudos!
Jeff Sachs
