CBS News—Ex-CIA chief Michael Morell resigns Harvard post over Chelsea Manning:
Michael Morell, former deputy director and acting director of the CIA, is stepping down as a senior fellow at Harvard University after the school extended a fellowship to Chelsea Manning, the soldier convicted of leaking classified information to Wikileaks.
Morell, a CBS News senior national security contributor, wrote in a letter to Doug Elmendorf, dean of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, that he can’t remain at an organization “that honors a convicted felon and leaker of classified information, Ms. Chelsea Manning.”
The Harvard Institute of Politics, part of the Kennedy School, named Manning a visiting fellow for the academic year on Wednesday. Manning is the first transgender individual to be awarded the prestigious post, joining a class of fellows that includes Sean Spicer, Robby Mook, Mika Brzezinski and others.
Manning was arrested in 2010 for leaking classified information to Wikileaks, and sentenced to 35 years in prison in 2013. She served 7 years until her sentence was commuted by President Barack Obama at the end of his term.
Morell served 33 years in the CIA, including as deputy director for three years in the Obama administration. He served as acting director of the agency for several months in 2011, then again between November 2012 and March 2013.
Morell retired in 2013 and was named a senior fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Kennedy School.
In his resignation letter, Morell criticized the school for its decision to bring Manning on campus for the fall semester.

SnyderTalk Comment:
Michael Morell is a man of honor and integrity.
I can’t say that about the faculty and administrators at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
Far too many of the intellectual elite among us are neither. They are mental midgets with advanced degrees.
As I used to tell my students at the University of Virginia, college degrees aren’t good substitutes for demonstrated intelligence.
Book smarts aren’t the best smarts.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
