First, I don't know whether the position Dr. Hernandez held was a cabinet office.
Second, I have cited reasonable sources that asserted it was.
Third, I can cite more (major universities) which also assert that the office he held was a cabinet office.
Well, I trust the CIA, and Wiki for that matter, than your sources. He held a position, but not a cabinet position. I can understand how you made the mistake, but you should have check.
First, I have little doubt that there is some puffery and/or misunderstanding.
Second, whether the
media accepts it as true, really doesn't make any difference to whether or not it is true. It is
not true, as has been demonstrated.
