From Daniel Drezner I see that a collection of 650+ international relations professors, calling themselves Security Scholars for Sensible Foreign Policy, have signed an open letter of protest decrying the Bush administration's foreign policy. Professor Bacevich of several courses past and currently the American Military Experience is a signatory, which is not a big surprise given how much he's made his disgust for the invasion of Iraq apparent in class, as is Professor Corgan, who teaches the introductory IR course to all the freshman IR majors. I wouldn't call either of them wishy-washy liberals, but then I also don't have as great a handle on figures in academia as Drezner or other members of it might.

This of course makes the SSSFP about the umpteen-billionth group of Knowledgeable People Against Bush, whether it's economists, professional diplomats, generals or whoever, and ultimately it will probably have a neglible effect on the vote since god knows John Kerry has too many endorsements to run through in the available time as it is, but maybe it's worth at least consulting briefly with the professionals on stuff like this, from time to time.
