Kaczynski in Tbilisi
I've been following the most recent incarnation of Sikorski's career with some bemusement. He strongly pushed for the rapid withdrawal of Polish forces from Iraq, he has been rumored to be the leading voice calling for the avoidance of the US missile shield, and has sought to calm relations with Russia, and been very Europhilic, and by Polish standards relatively muted in his Atlanticism. For those who haven't followed his career, before this he was one of Poland's most vociferous Russophobes, and is a full on neocon whose home away from office is the American Enterprise Institute. The change actually began towards the end of his previous stint in office as Defense Minister in the Kaczynski government, soon before he was forced out. He subsequently switched parties and personas. Interesting factoid: in the eighties Sikorski spent a couple years as a journalist in Afghanistan with the mujaheddin. During that period it is credibly rumoured that he was also working for MI-6.
