The crippled State Department

In an editorial that was clearly written by Tony Blankley, the Washington Times lends its support to Newt Gingrich in the debate that he initiated on the adequacy of the department in representation of American interests. As with most of Blankley’s columns, the editorial is worth reading both for its thoughtfulness and its bite: “The crippled State Department.”
