CNAS Next Generation National Security Leaders
CNAS has selected the 2009 class of Next Generation National Security Leaders. There were 450 (!) applicants for 24 slots, so apologies go out to the many fine candidates who were excluded this round. And a huge congratulations go out to the diverse and accomplished class that was selected. You don't really get a sense for what an accomplished crew this is just by reading their titles. For example, look at Barret Bradstreet: "Doctoral Candidate, Princeton University." That says nothing about the fact that he's a captain in the U.S. Marine Corps -- with degrees from Harvard and the LSE, naturally -- and has a tour in Iraq under his belt and has been teaching at the Naval Academy for the past few years. Are you kidding me? Just ridiculous, these people. We could have chosen the next 24 people on the list and not suffered a drop in quality. It's like the New Zealand national rugby team in that way...

Just looking at the list of selected candidates and their appointments is enough to win me over. Though I agree, while most of the appointments look rather intimidating, some of the others just don’t seem too impressive at all.
