Editor:
Newt and I and a whole lot of others owe Hillary an apology.
We have all criticized her for her lack of accomplishments as Secretary of State. As a former Marine and Civil Service mariner (civilian employee on a Navy-owned ship), even at the low level at which I was employed I was aware that a significant portion of our business was classified.
I have no idea of what percentage of State Department business must be classified (does anyone?) but it has to be a significant portion. Especially the important stuff.
If Hillary never received any classified information at all, how could she possibly be expected to do a good job?
Hillary, please accept my apology.
However, this does not mean I am endorsing her. I question the judgment of and would never endorse anyone for high (or low) office who would lie to the parents of dead American heroes. Period! Calling them liars later only re-affirms my position.
