Further Wrestling with Perle
"A further question of private interests clashing":http://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/24/opinion/24MON3.html with Richard Perles position in the Pentagon. This has lead to "calls for an investigation ":http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/politics/politics-congress-perle.html of Perles activities (see my "previous post":http://nontroppo.org/blog/archives/2003/03/11/perles_and_swine_in_the_dirt_with_the_bush_boys.html#000062 for another article on Perle). Let us hope that such indications of private gains by such a core (background) figure in the Bush war machine will result in an open and critical probe on his role in the US Government.
UPDATE: "Perle has resigned":http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2894059.stm his position as chairman on the Defense board (although he is still a member of it). Looks like he knew he was in for a hard ride, and didn't want to embarass his fellow chickenhawks. The fact is, however, he is STILL working for the US government.
