Top Obama Advisers to Host Foreign Policy Forums in Terre Haute, Evansville and Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS – A group of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s top foreign policy advisers, including Greg Craig, Sarah Sewall and retired Air Force Brigadier General James Smith will participate in three panel discussions across Indiana next week to discuss Obamas plan to restore American leadership on the world stage and decrease the risk of terrorism by attacking global poverty, upholding the rule of law and rebuilding international cooperation.
Sewell, a first Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense during Bill Clinton’s administration, is the Director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. She also served as a senior foreign policy adviser to former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell. Her current research focuses on counterinsurgency and terrorism.
Craig served as the Director of Policy Planning at the State Department during the Clinton administration and was the Special Counsel to President Clinton.
Smith was the deputy commander of the Joint Warfighting Center, U.S. Joint Forces Command, Joint Training Analysis and Simulation Center in Suffolk, Va. The general is a 1974 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, and he received a masters degree in history from Indiana University in 1975. His aviation career includes 4,000 hours in the F-15 and T-38, including combat sorties during Desert Storm.
