Since we had been talking about nonproliferation in class, I thought this story would be pertinent: President Obama still hasn't nominated an assistant secretary for international security and negotiations, the post that oversees the State Department's bureau responsible for U.S. nonproliferation policy. Why? First, the Obama Administration is conducting full FBI background and financial checks, probably a good idea after getting burned on some nominees throughout 2009. But also, the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee thinks there are too many positions that need Senate confirmation that should just be appointed staff jobs.
