“A flattering New York Times profile has increased speculation that Samantha Power, the Dublin-born aide to President Obama, could be his next Secretary of State or National Security Adviser,” Irish Central agency reports.
”She has been the main architect of the Libya policy along with Hillary Clinton, and has an increasing influence in the White House,” the source says.
“When Hillary Clinton steps down after Obama’s first term, she would be a live candidate for the post if Obama wins re-election,” the website reports.
“She is clearly the foremost voice for human rights within the White House and she has Obama’s ear,” Executive Director of Human Rights Watch Kenneth Roth told the News York Times.
“Power won a Pulitzer Prize for her 2002 book on genocide, entitled “A Problem from Hell,” which examined the U.S. foreign policy response to genocide,” the source reads.
“The book argues that the Armenia, Nazi Germany, Cambodia and Rwanda genocides took place because government authorities averted their eyes and individuals made the choice not to intervene,” the website says.
“The most common response,” Ms. Power wrote, “is, ‘We didn’t know.’ This is not true”
