He detests it when aides waste his time clearing their throat before getting to the point, and he has always had an affinity for forceful women like Rice and communications guru Karen Hughes. Still, Townsend's rise to the President's inner circle is remarkable when you consider that she was a Justice Department confidante of Janet Reno's--which made her suspect among conservatives who still love to hate Bill Clinton's Attorney General--and that some counterterrorism professionals question...
