Did Russ Feingold Just End a War?

28. Fantastic article of the good work being done there

It is fantastic that Feingold's intelligence and character were respected enough for him to be given this job with the trust needed to really make a difference. I remember the years of SFRC hearings when he and Barbara Boxer would follow Kerry (interspersed by Republicans) at hearings. There were so many times that they picked up each others points and honed in on truth.

I loved the description of how he worked with Kerry on this - pulling Kerry in to make calls to leaders when needed. I remember in 2010, when Feingold was against PACs and other soft money, he did welcome Kerry sending a fund raising appeal for RF to his email list - praising Feingold for what he brought to the Senate.

It is great to see an example where the administration did pull away from a foreign leader that Susan Rice had long protected. It is great that when proof existed, Hillary approved putting it out - and Obama obviously okayed Feingold's and Kerry's actions to force Rwanda to stop supporting the M23. It is important to have the strength to reexamine support for people who prove very unworthy.
