Richard Holbrooke Dead: Diplomat Dies At 69
• huffingtonpost.comWASHINGTON — Richard Holbrooke, a brilliant and feisty U.S. diplomat who wrote part of the Pentagon Papers, was the architect of the 1995 Bosnia peace plan and served as President Barack Obama's special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan, died Monday, the State Department said. He was 69.
Calling Holbrooke "a true giant of American foreign policy," Obama
paid homage to the veteran diplomat as "a truly unique figure who will
be remembered for his tireless diplomacy, love of country, and pursuit
of peace." Holbrooke deserves credit for much of the progress in
Afghanistan and Pakistan, the president said.
