Hmmm.... I was just gonna post the same thing, but notice that she's not too afraid to dip her toe in the Deep Politics end of the pool.
That I see as a good thing, as many of my leftist* friends like Klein.
* by leftist I mean the kind of friend that often throws in "Well, Chomsky says..." at the beginning of any lengthy discourse. They also consider the very idea of someone like Viktor Bout unlikely, that it's the Afghan farmers making all the opium money so THAT'S why the fields aren't shut down fast enough, and the CIA doesn't run drugs, and who CARES whether Oswald... etc and also don't believe in the phrase "deep politics", and think the important thing is to make sure Hillary or Obama win the White House (though that Ron Paul is an interesting fellow, if only because he wants to "stop the war").
