Half the Foreign Policy Experts Signing Clinton's Anti-Sanders Letter Have
Ties to Military Contractors

Hillary Clinton's campaign released a letter this week in which 10 foreign
policy experts criticized her opponent Bernie Sanders' call for closer
engagement with Iran and said Sanders had "not thought through these crucial
national security issues that can have profound consequences for our
security."
The missive from the Clinton campaign was covered widely in the press, but
what wasn't disclosed in the coverage is that fully half of the former State
Department officials and ambassadors who signed the letter, and who are now
backing Clinton, are now enmeshed in the military contracting establishment,
which has benefited tremendously from escalating violence around the world,
particularly in the Middle East.
Here are some of the letter signatories' current employment positions that
were not disclosed in the reporting of the letter:
. Former Assistant Defense Secretary Derek Chollet, former Pentagon
and CIA Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash, and former Deputy National Security
Adviser Julianne Smith are now employed by the consulting firm Beacon Global
Strategies, a firm we profiled last year. Beacon Global Strategies' staff
advises both Clinton and Republican candidates for president, including Ted
Cruz and Marco Rubio. The firm makes money by providing advice to a
clientele that is primarily military contractors. Beacon Global Strategies,
however, has refused to disclose the identity of its clients.
. Former Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns is a senior counselor
at the Cohen Group, a consulting firm founded by former Defense Secretary
William Cohen. The firm "assists aerospace and defense firms on policy,
business development, and transactions," including deals in the U.S.,
Turkey, Israel, and the Middle East.
. Former Undersecretary of Defense Jim Miller is an advisory board
member to Endgame Systems, a start-up that has been called the "Blackwater
of Hacking." Miller is also on the board of BEI Precision Systems & Space, a
military contractor.
