I used to be a subscriber to Stratfor, and have enjoyed George Friedman's books. He presents a very interesting, Geopolitical perspective.

A bit of Friedman's personal political leanings "leaked" into his books/essays, but they are interesting enough that I was able to ignore it.

I don't see anything in the info on Wikileaks that makes me consider Ohanian's conduct remotely inappropriate.

FWIW the Geopolitical perspective Friedman advocates in his books is perfectly useful as a tool for analysis and does not dictate any particular approach to governance or diplomacy.
