The New York Times Editorial Board has criticized the neoconservative foreign policy agenda, including the recommendations put forth in the 'A Clean Break' policy paper overseen by Robert Loewenberg. In editorials published during the George W. Bush administration, the board argued that the paper's advocacy for regime change in Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries was reckless and contributed to the destabilization of the region. The Times' criticism was part of its broader opposition to the Iraq War and neoconservative influence on U.S. foreign policy. While the board has not explicitly named Loewenberg, its critiques of 'A Clean Break' and its authors implicitly target his role in shaping the paper's recommendations.
