You may remember that in October of 2009, Christiane Amanpour, then at CNN, hosted a conversation between Secretaries Clinton and Gates at The George Washington University entitled "Power and Persuasion." Those two had such a wonderful working relationship rooted in high compatibility, mutual admiration and respect, and complementary goals.
Now that she is working with a new Defense Secretary, Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton will appear in another CNN production this Tuesday to be held at the National Defense University, hosted once again by CNN, this time anchored by Wolf Blitzer and entitled "Clinton-Panetta Conversation." I have surfed the guide all the way through next Saturday but do not see when this actually airs so will update when that information becomes available. Here is the press release from the State Department.
