DEMOCRACY IS GOOD

I am not familiar with this news item. Could you post a link for us?

Probably more than you wanted to know. Beers was responsible for, among other things, the unhappy ad blitz of "America loves Muslims" broadcast to the Arab countries, which went over like a lead balloon. The parting was by mutual consent.

Interview with Terence Smith in January 2003



Departure of Charlotte Beers, Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs

Secretary Colin L. Powell
Washington, DC
March 3, 2003
Charlotte Beers, a key and vital member of my team, is leaving us shortly for health reasons. Since she arrived in October of 2001, she has brought new energy, new ideas, and new enthusiasm to our interaction with the public in America and throughout the world. Charlotte brought incredible expertise from Madison Avenue to Foggy Bottom. At a critical and stressful time for our nation, she and her team sharpened our policy advocacy and took our values and our ideas to mass audiences in countries which hadn't heard from us in a concerted way for years. She helped us find new ways of making our case to policy makers while expanding our outreach efforts to make connections with ordinary people, particularly in Moslem nations. Her goal of reaching “younger, broader, and deeper” audiences will remain with us as she departs. I thank her for revitalizing our programs, and wish her good health and success in her future endeavors.

Well thank you, mamajuana! I can ALWAYS COUNT
ON YOU - to have a link or two handy. I really must
begin to cultivate the art of having things ready and
at hand so I can show them to others when I just go
off yakking about a topic. Truly, I feel terribly sorry
for that poor woman, Charlotte Beers is it? It just
figures that they would stick a woman with such a
hopeless, thankless job doesn't it?

babs - you too can do this fast. Go to toolbar.google.com, and a small, simple download will put a google search board right at the top. This has turned out to be one of the handiest things I have.

But I'm also very curious, and will sometimes look up random stuff. In the case of Beers, my daughter was at both agencies, and had met her, so that's how I knew.

Now they've just hired Margaret Tutwiler, a close pal of James Baker, to do the same work, which she had done before for Poppy.

Incidentally, don't feel sorry for Beers. She's considered one of the toughest players around, and nobody crossed her.

Democracy a greek word is good .

I'm glad we don't live in a Democracy ~ our Republic is superior.
