Talk:National Security Advisor (United States)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why should you care what other people write? You shouldn't delete it because obviously it is something that person wanted to say. HmG

[edit] Independence

"The National Security Advisor is appointed by the President without confirmation by the United States Senate. As such, he or she is not connected to the bureaucratic politics of the Departments of State and Defense, and is therefore able to offer independent advice."

Surely by removing the confirmatory step, independence is removed completely?

Here is a contradiction in this article: The NSA is appointed without confirmation, and Condi Rice was confirmed by a vote of the Senate.

[edit] Spelling

I believe it's Adviser not Advisor, at least that's what C-Span was displaying when they were showing a conference with Zbigniew Brzezinski the former National Security Adviser under President Jimmy Carter. I would like to suggest that this be changed. Dog Face Charlie 20:37, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
