# Posted 8:18 PM by Ariel David Adesnik This change does matter, and Marshall is right to argue that it is evidence of an unwillingness to consider opposing views. But he goes too far when he says that the Bush administration's efforts to politicize the national security bureaucracy have reached "unprecedented levels". W. hasn't come close to what Reagan did, cleaning out whole bureaus in the State Department and sending decorated ambassadors with thirty years experience into premature retirement. Thus, when Marshall argues that this administration's unwillingness to hear opposing views has damaged its foreign policy, his charges ring hollow. The administration has done plenty wrong, but not because it hasn't been aware of other options. (0) opinions -- Add your opinion
