But who is Jamie Ruben and where/when did he say whatever set you off?
He is a former Clinton appointee who talks before he thinks. It matters because he was in the state department. During a critical time in the run upto 2004 GE he went out and gave a statement to the press on behalf of Kerry that "kerry would have voted for AUMF even knowing what he knew then" He works for the press was on wide angle for PBS and for BBC.
I have trouble keeping up with the multitude of actors :-)
