Foreign Policy’s James Bamford writes on the influence of Ben Carson’s foreign policy advisers on both his current campaign and future policy. “Chief among them is Robert F. Dees, a retired Army officer who has indulged in anit-Muslim bigotry and advocated for a national security strategy centered on Christian evangelism,” Bamford writes. Carson’s most extreme statements on foreign policy are not just “ill-informed gaffes,” Bamford says. “They are a reflection of the troubling worldview of the people he has turned to for advice.”
