Who's Who of Presidential Campaign National Security Advisers
By James Gordon Meek
As a companion to the New York Daily News' three-month investigation into who is advising Democratic frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on counterterrorism, national security and foreign affairs, today we offer a complete list of the major presidential candidates' top wisemen on these important national issues.
The presidential campaigns of Democrat Christopher Dodd and Republican Fred Thompson would not disclose their advisers to the Daily News. But in the case of Thompson, our reporting yielded two names. There also are some security experts advising multiple candidates, such as National Security Network director Rand Beers, who are not included on the master list. A former career counterterrorism official at the National Security Council who worked on John Kerry's unsuccessful 2004 presidential bid, Beers told me he is counseling Democrats Joe Biden, Dodd, Clinton and Obama.
Read the full list at the Mouth of the Potomac Blog after the jump.
