Temptation of intelligence politicization to support diplomacy / Rubin, Michael   Journal Article
Rubin, Michael Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Good diplomacy goes hand-in-hand with good intelligence. Just as courtroom lawyers never ask a question to which they do not already know the answer, so too should politicians and diplomats avoid negotiating with enemies without first understanding what they bring to the table and what they seek to conceal. Because rogue regimes are among America's most opaque and dangerous adversaries,1 a breakthrough in relations can define a President's legacy and make diplomats’ careers. Too often, the temptation to succeed can be overwhelming. When intelligence clashes with political and diplomatic goals, the sanctity of intelligence often loses: seldom do Presidents want their diplomatic initiatives to be the sacrifice.
