¶1.  SUMMARY: That's how Washington Post columnist David 
Ignatius described INR.  Ignatius wrote that INR owes 
its 
success to "a culture that supports dissent -- and 
demands 
expertise...When that kind of intolerance for mediocrity 
is shared throughout the intelligence community, we'll 
know that reform has really begun."  Ignatius advised, 
"people should take a careful look at one of 
Washington's hidden jewels -- the State Department's 
tiny Bureau of 
Intelligence and Research."  We urge bidders to follow 
Ignatius' advice and take a close look at INR's Foreign 
Service positions opening in summer 2010.
