'Witch hunt' at State Department as officials rally around anti-Bush activist

State Department officials are on a "witch hunt" to find out "who talked" about the fact that a John Kerry partisan and ExxonMobil advisor is unilaterally blocking a White House-supported project to promote democracy in Iran.

The individual, as FourthWorldWar reported earlier this week, holds the sensitive Iran post on the Policy Planning staff.

Instead of trying to root out who blew the whistle on the sabotage of administration policy, the State Department should be asking this question: How did someone with documented credentials against presidential policy and a possible conflict of interests with an oil company ever get appointed to the Iran policy planning job?

And why are some of its officials rallying around the saboteur when they should be carrying out the president's policy?
