Ex-Clinton Spokesman Takes Position At Penn State

A former U.S. Department of State spokesman who quit after criticizing the military's treatment of an Army private accused of leaking documents to the WikiLeaks website has accepted an academic position at Penn State's law school.

P.J. Crowley's one-year appointment as the Omar Bradley Chair of Strategic Leadership begins Aug. 1.

The law school said Tuesday Crowley's research and teaching will focus on national security policy, public diplomacy and the impact of the global media environment on policy and politics.

Crowley quit his post as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's chief spokesman after being quoted as telling college students during a seminar the military's handling of Army Pfc. Bradley Manning at a brig was "ridiculous, counterproductive and stupid."

President Obama later called Manning's detention appropriate.

A defense lawyer has said Manning's treatment was substandard.
