Geez, those guys do crappy formatting. Oh, well, you get the drift. Dennis Ross is teflon coated. He gets away with murder and keeps on ticking.

Re: Ambassador Dennis Ross to Join Obama Administration

We are delighted to share the news that Ambassador Dennis Ross,
counselor and Ziegler Distinguished Fellow at The Washington
Institute, has accepted an invitation to join the Obama administration
as ambassador-at-large and senior advisor to Secretary of
State-designate Hillary Clinton.

In that seventh-floor job, designed especially for him, Ambassador
Ross will be the secretary’s top advisor on a wide range of Middle
East issues, from the Arab-Israeli peace process to Iran. Ambassador Ross will not
reprise his previous role as special Arab-Israeli peace envoy, a post that
will be held by someone else; rather he will be working closely with both
the special envoy and the secretary. Ambassador Ross is expected to take
his post immediately after inauguration.

We know you share our pride in Ambassador Ross’s achievements, which
reflect not only his outstanding contribution to U.S. foreign policy, but
also the Institute’s unique role in supporting those who can advance peace
and security in the Middle East.
