Welcome to Mort Halperin Posted by Suzanne Nossel

Starting tomorrow we will be joined here at DA by Mort Halperin.  Mort has a ridiculously distinguished background in government and in top leadership at a variety of NGOs including the ACLU.  He most recently served as Director of Policy Planning at the State Department from 1998-2001 where he was the driving force behind efforts to form the Community of Democracies, a concept that has generated great enthusiasm across the political spectrum in the US, and among allies abroad.   

Mort is now a Senior Vice President of the Center for American Progress, the Executive Director of the Open Society Policy Center, Director of Advocacy at the Open Society Institute, and Director of the Security and Peace Initiative.   If the idea of one person wearing that many hats makes no sense to you, you haven't met Mort.  He was a big early supporter of the concept behind Democracy Arsenal, and - though not a regular reader of blogs - understood instinctively why we needed to create a forum for uncensored opinion and exchange on foreign policy subjects. 

Mort has seen and done it all and there is no doubt that he will up our game here at DA.  We welcome him to the fray.

I thought the whole point of this blog was to showcase the "best" thinking among the younger generation of progressives and Dems (although that is hardly the case.) So why bring on Halperin? He's old-school.

I hope Mort Halperin will keep posting here. His first post stimulated some good discussion.

A lot of it was people who disagreed with him, but if you post something that everybody agrees with chances are nobody will respond at all.
