A Match Made Behind Closed Doors

No doubt.

WMD Post Filled -- Finally


John C. Rood , the 38-year-old senior director for counterproliferation at the National Security Council, is moving to the State Department to be assistant secretary for nonproliferation. Rood is filling a job that has been vacant for two years, since John S. Wolf quit in 2004. Two caretakers minded the store since then but didn't get the job: Susan Burke , who's still at State, and Stephen G. Rademaker , who recently left to become foreign policy adviser to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.).

Unclear why it took the administration so long to name the lead person dealing with weapons of mass destruction.
