| Republican Foreign Policy Veterans Rebuke Donald Trump World View

| More than 70 Republican foreign policy veterans have pledged to oppose Donald Trump, saying his proposals would undermine US security, in the latest sign of fissures between the Republican presidential front-runner and the party establishment.
"Mr. Trump's own statements lead us to conclude that as president, he would use the authority of his office to act in ways that make America less safe, and which would diminish our standing in the world," the signatories wrote in a letter on Wednesday.
"Furthermore, his expansive view of how presidential power should be wielded against his detractors poses a distinct threat to civil liberty in the United States," said the letter, which was posted on a blog called War on the Rocks.
The signatories include Robert Zoellick, a former World Bank president and deputy secretary of state; former US Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff; and Dov Zakheim, a top Pentagon official under President George W Bush.
They represent both centrist Republican foreign policy circles and neoconservatives who favor a robust US international role and wielded clout during Bush's 2001-2009 tenure.
Billionaire businessman Trump won the largest number of states in this week's Super Tuesday nominating contests, intensifying moves by the party's establishment wing to derail his path to the nomination.
