The memo was the work of the Coalition for a Democratic Majority, a Washington-based group of moderate Democrats headed by Ben Wallenberg, who has often served as an adviser to Jackson. The organization prepared the criticism of Warnke more than a month ago, when he was mentioned as a possible choice for Secretary of Defense...
