Career
Mylroie earned a doctorate in Political Science from Harvard University and was employed in the school's Government Department. She was an associate professor at the U.S. Naval War College, and an Iraq consultant for Bill Clinton during his 1992 campaign for President.
She was an adjunct fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. From 2006 to 2008, she published several articles in The American Spectator.
In January 2009, the website TPMmuckraker discovered that Mylroie was the author of two 2007 reports about Iraq which were done for the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment. This means that she had still been employed by the U.S. government after her theories had been widely discredited.
