Cantwell Aide Moving on to Bloodier Pastures

Of course what's bloodier than a senator????? Part of the story below:

Clayton has worked on Capitol Hill for five years. During her stint with Canwell, the senator's office has developed the reputation for quick response to breaking news developments.

"It's been a wonderful two years and I've met and worked with tremendous people, including Sen. Cantwell herself who is a tremendous advocate for the people of Washington state in D.C.," said Clayton.

Bursen & Marsteller has represented clients ranging from Blackwater USA, the controversial Iraq contractor, to the government of Colombia under President Alvaro Uribe. It worked for Union Carbide after the 1984 Bhopal disaster, a chemical leak in India that killed 2,000 people.

When magazines began publicizing British Columbia's vast clear cuts in the late 1980's and early 1990's, Burson & Marsteller set up a front group called the B.C. Forest Alliance designed to show public support for the province's timber industry.

The attempt to improve the industry's image was briefly sidetracked by B.C. Forest
Alliance president Jack Munro, blunt-spoken former leader of the International Woodworkers of America.

Munro told a New York Times reporter: "When they see a spotted owl, I tell my guys to shoot it."
