It’s official – John Walters has been given his new lucrative position. No, it’s not in drug testing like so many of us assumed — unfortunately, he’ll be in a position to continue to damage our criminal justice and foreign policy.
John P. Walters, who has served as the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) since December 2001, will join Hudson Institute as Executive Vice President effective January 20, 2009.
At Hudson, Walters will build on his broad public policy experience, including running the cabinet-level ONDCP, to develop research-based initiatives in fields ranging from crime and drug policy to international affairs.
The Hudson Institute is a far-right conservative think tank focusing on defense, crime, and international issues such as the Middles East and Latin America.
