Hillary Clinton demands accountability for war crimes

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Salon - By Glenn Greenwald - Aug. 05 (Opinion) - As we send murderous, crusading civilian units around the world to accompany our invading armies -- while ushering a regime of torture wherever we go -- and then announce we will only Look to the Future, Not the Past, when their crimes are exposed (despite our best efforts to keep them concealed), do we actually expect anyone to take these sermons seriously?

Rising Costs

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700

New Republic - By Jonathan Cohn - Jun. 30 (Opinion) - Notwithstanding the predictable fits-and-starts of the legislative process, it seems likely that Obama will have a bill to sign by year's end, thereby accomplishing what the Clintons famously could not. But then what? Having crafted a bill that can pass Congress, will Obama be signing a bill that people actually like? It's a question best answered by examining another episode of the past--one that, although a mere footnote in political history, is fraught with warnings for today's reformers.

Hillary's New Crusade

Sun, 07 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700

The Daily Beast - By Michelle Goldberg - Jun. 07 (Opinion) - A year ago today, Hillary Clinton ended her presidential campaign—to the relief of many. But even her critics must admit that as secretary of State, she’s been a feminist hero to behold. One year ago today, Hillary Clinton ended her presidential campaign, much to the relief of millions of ardent Barack Obama supporters like me. Throughout the primaries, I had been irritated and then outraged by those who argued feminism obliged women to back her. The possibility that our first female president would be a former first lady promising to continue her husband’s legacy struck me as profoundly dispiriting. During the campaign, her hardball tactics horrified me. So when she made her rousing and gracious speech in the National Building Museum, conceding defeat but celebrating "18 million cracks" in "that highest, hardest glass ceiling," I was too furious to really hear her.

The Times - By Tony Allen-Mills - Apr. 26 (Opinion) - Spring was in the air in New York and Bill and Hillary Clinton were out on the town with Chelsea, their daughter. At the Café Carlyle, the New York Post reported solemnly, they sat “holding hands” while listening to the cabaret. A few days later the Clintons were in Washington.

Secretary Clinton's safety dance

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0800

The Politico - By David S. Cloud - Mar. 08 (Opinion) - The way to think about what kind of secretary of state Hillary Clinton will be is to remember what she did after coming to the Senate eight years ago. While some of her new colleagues feared the former First Lady would be a dilettante who disdained legislating, she surprised them by plunging into the details of the job and gradually earned a reputation as one of the Senate's most substantive members. She displayed the same style in her weeklong trip to the Middle East and Europe this week, and it was a sharp contrast to her approach on her maiden trip as secretary to Asia in February, where she made headlines with frank and sometimes jarring comments playing down the importance of human rights in the U.S.-China relationship and speculating about a possible succession struggle in North Korea.

Mrs. Clinton Goes to Asia

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0800

National Review - By Dan Blumenthal - Feb. 16 (Opinion) - In fashioning her Asia policy, Secretary Clinton has a chance to make a clean break with her predecessors, who tended to view every Asian challenge in isolation. The United States can begin to view Asia as a whole, with interconnected problems and multilateral solutions.

Times editorial writer Marjorie Miller asked five former secretaries of State what advice they had for Clinton in her new job. What follows are edited transcripts of their counsel.
