In both good and bad ways. Beers is noone I would want to see in a high level position in a Kerry administration. He really does support the fumigation wars, even if he was surely pissed at being forced or tricked in to perjuring himself. Other CounterPunch articles label him as a biowar zealot.

That he resigned on the day Bush gave his ultimatum to Hussein shows that the Iraq war was probably his main complaint. He said Bush was "making us less secure, not more secure," because of a pattern of neglect and homeland security budget cutting, for example in the area of port security or border security.

That he could sit through all the republican administrations he has sat through, and not resign earlier, gives a very good idea of just how whacked out the current Bush administration really is. On the other hand, Kerry's sometimes whacked out take on the western hemisphere can likely be attributed to Beers, a fellow Monsanto crony.

I have been proceeding under the idea that Kerry has simply hired him because of the defection. Also, so that he can run as an almost republican on foreign policy , since the electorate seems to prefer right wing foreign policy (have never understood that).

I am hoping he drops him after he is elected.
