Third US diplomat resigns in protest to war (AFP), Khaleej Times, 21 March 2003
WASHINGTON- Another veteran US diplomat has resigned from the State Department in protest over US President George W. Bush's policy towards Iraq, becoming the third and the highest-ranking career foreign service officer to do so since last month, officials said yesterday. Mary Wright, the number two at the US embassy in Ulan Bator, Mongolia, told Secretary of State Colin Powell she was resigning because she could no longer perform her job in good conscience, the officials said. "She was a good officer and very well respected," said one official. "We'll miss her." In a letter to Mr Powell, Wright, who joined the State Department 15 years ago after a 26-year stint in the army and army reserves, also said she disagreed with Mr Bush's Mideast policy, his approach to North Korea and could not support the domestic consequences of the war on terrorism. ------------------------------------------- Macdonald Stainsby http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/rad-green http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international -- In the contradiction lies the hope. --Bertholt Brecht _______________________________________________ Leninist-International mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international
