Ideology over sound policy: A day in the life of the executive branch

Here is another great example of Bush appointees politicizing policy that was formerly non-partisan.

A State Department reorganization of analysts involved in preventing the spread of deadly weapons has spawned internal turmoil, with more than half a dozen career employees alleging in interviews that political appointees sought to punish long-term employees whose views they considered suspect.

"views they considered suspect" means "views that didn't agree 100% with the White House"

The career policy people at the State Department didn't want to subscribe to the John Bolton-Dick Cheney-George Bush "greeted as liberators"/"last throes" dementia that passes for foreign policy in the White House, so they had to leave.
