It was an indicator that that government officials might, in some way, consider his ongoing access to secrets . And, it presents challenges for a man who has been working to shore up his image since retiring in 2. Cartwright enjoyed privileged access . He had adopted contrarian views on issues like the troop surge in Afghanistan, which alienated him from senior brass at the Pentagon but in many ways helped catapult his reputation within the White House. The super- secret worm, . A report by the New York Times. The Times reported that Cartwright conceived and ran the cyber operation known as Olympic Games, which included Stuxnet and other highly- sophisticated pieces of malware aimed at the Iranian nuclear effort. The story provided details about the operation and referenced interviews with current officials in the administration. The charge from critics of the administration, including from Capitol Hill, was that the Obama administration authorized the leaks in order to increase the president’s bona fides on national security. The Obama administration immediately denounced the leaks and launched the investigation. At the time, Greg Craig — the former White House counsel under Obama who now serves as Cartwright’s attorney — called the targeting ridiculous. Any suggestion that he could have betrayed the company that he loved is preposterous. It hasn’t stopped him from serving on a number of boards and panels and participates in various studies around Washington; he is the Harold Brown Chair in Defense Policy Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, for example.

The work of the panel is being facilitated by the United States Institute of Peace in Washington. Cartwright was appointed to the board by Sen.

C., defense officials tell FP. The removal of his security clearance was a further indignity for a man once seen as a favorite military son at a White House that has very few of them. Cartwright, who served under Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen, developed a close relationship with the White House, sometimes irking some defense leaders inside the Pentagon. Not even Mullen, who was technically the president’s top military advisor, seemed as close to Obama. This was a man with whom the president shared a great many secrets. For now at least, that sharing is over.
