"Former US Secretary of State Dr Condoleezza Rice has joined CBS News. Dr Rice&amp;#039;s appointment as a special correspondent was announced on Saturday (January 19) by CBS News chairman Jeff Fager, according to The New York Times.  The diplomat will appear on air on CBS regularly to offer her expertise on both domestic and global breaking news, the network has said. Dr Rice initially served in former US President George W Bush&amp;#039;s administration as National Security Advisor from 2001 to 2005, before being upgraded to Secretary of State. There had been reports of a potential presidential run for Dr Rice in 2008, but nothing ever materialized. She left mainstream politics at the end of Bush&amp;#039;s second term in 2009 to teach at Stanford University, where she became director of the school&amp;#039;s Global Center of Business and the Economy. Dr Rice is expected to begin her new position with CBS News in the coming weeks. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
