Election '08: A radical foreign-policy adviser to Barack Obama — flushed from the shadows after calling Hillary a name — speaks volumes about her enigmatic boss and his worldview.
Samantha J. Power, a Harvard professor and author, was in line to be Obama's national security adviser or secretary of state before calling Clinton a ruthless "monster." The "gaffe" led to her resignation from his campaign. While she may be gone (for now), her ideas have left an indelible imprint on Obama.
Obama can pick them.
Power, like Obama, believes America will be more secure in the world and face fewer threats if it practices "human security." Voters should be warned: That means turning the war on terror into global social work.
