Bad Principals

The big news is not the refugee ban.  We knew it was coming.  Relying solely on his bungling band of brothers ensured a disorderly roll out of his executive order.  That incompetence has fortunately amplified the push back.  The ban poses a short and long term security threat by radicalizing Muslims.

But the greater threat is reconstituting the Principals Committee, the senior interagency committer for national security.  Ultra-nationalist, conspiracy theorist, Steve Bannon is in.  At the same time participation by the Director of National Security and the Head of the Joint Chief of Staff is limited.  The latter two, need to be included to have the broad picture necessary to protect this nation.

Bad principals, coupled with Trump's bad principles, imperil the security of the United States.
