Official narrative
"Carol R. Kuntz is a visiting fellow with the CSIS International Security Program. She has served as a career professional in the U.S. Department of Defense since 1988. Dr. Kuntz was the homeland security adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney for the five years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States. She was a member of the Homeland Security Deputies Committee, the deputy-cabinet-secretary–level group that made key policy decisions. She developed and advanced key presidential initiatives to protect against biological and nuclear "terrorism". And from 2001 to 2009, as the U.S. government increased its annual expenditures on biodefense efforts from about $50 million to some $8 billion, she played a leading role in shaping many of the new initiatives."[1]
