In some ways, Guest is kind of like James Comey at the DOJ. Guest came back from his ambassadorship in Romania to head up the Foreign Service Institute (State’s diplomatic training school). He was a career FSO, not political, and was well loved throughout Foggy Bottom. Evidently he had had enough.

Then you get the mess this last week with the Iraq NIE, where Cheney and the NeoCons are blaming it on State Dept liberals who have obviously twisted the intelligence. State is being blamed for Bush having to dial back the rhetoric on Iraq, and after Colin Powell’s speech at the UN, State isn’t really happy with being treated as the NeoCon’s toy.
