The praise for Gov. Bill Richardson’s diplomatic skills continues.
In a weekend editorial, the Denver Post praised Richardson for securing the recent release of journalist Paul Salopek, who was held by the Sudanese government.
“No matter what his position, he has shown an undeniable knack for unconventional diplomacy,” the Post editorial states. “It served him well in Washington as a troubleshooter for President Clinton and perhaps could again if he were to return to Washington.”
“Whether or not he enters the presidential race, Richardson has demonstrated his ability to tackle tough diplomatic tasks,” the editorial concludes. “It’s a singular record which has won him friends across the world.”
