Washington Monthly, Sept, 2003
In Washington, geographic proximity to power is a measure of power itself. So perhaps it's simply a sign of the times that Brent Scowcroft, chairman of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board--and national security adviser under Bush I--has been moved from his office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, across the driveway from the West Wing, to digs in the New Executive Office Building (NEOB), a block farther away.

The reason for the downgrade is not hard to understand. Scowcroft openly objected to the Bush administration's go-it-done strategy on Iraq, most famously in an August 2002 Wall Street Journal op-ed. But perhaps he is getting his revenge for the office slight. The Los Angeles Times reports that Scowcroft's office has begun its own investigation into the process by which false intelligence claims about Iraq's nuclear weapons program found their way into President Bush's State of the Union address.
