The CIA speaks.....

...and Harvard acts. The day after Harvard selected Chelsea Manning as a Visiting Fellow, Mike Morrell, former deputy director of the CIA, resigned as a fellow in protest of Manning's nomination. Then, Mike Pompeo, the current head of the CIA, withdrew from a Harvard forum, also in protest.

The reason given by Douglas W. Elmendorf, the dean of the Harvard Kennedy School? “I see more clearly now that many people view a visiting fellow title as an honorific, so we should weigh that consideration when offering invitations.”

Why didn't the CIA claim about the quality of  a few other fellows: Sean Spicer,Corey Lewandoski, Jason Chafetz, Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough.
