The "Bravo!" email
I cannot imagine how exhausted you must be after this week, but I have NEVER been prouder of having worked for you, writes Slaughter, who worked as an advisor to Clinton in the State Department from 2009 to February 3, 2011, and then remained a consultant to the policy planning bureau. Turning POTUS around on this is a major win for everything we have worked for. An earlier email release, which I reported on previously, showed that Slaughter had spent February 2011 imploring Clinton to involve the United States militarily in Libya, insisting that it would change the image of the United States overnight.
