Douglas Feith
With his new book coming out, I thought some perspective was appropriate. From a website: http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/1146.html Feith's resignation from the Department of Defense sparked speculation that he was pressured to leave because of ongoing investigations into the administration's efforts to manufacture support for the Iraq War, which was widely criticized in and out of government. Gen. Tommy Franks, the commander of the Iraq invasion, once referred to him as the "stupidest guy on the face of the earth." 11 History professor Juan Cole wrote in January 2005, when Feith announced his impending resignation: "Feith is clearly resigning ahead of the possible breaking of major scandals concerning his tenure at the Department of Defense, which is among the more disgraceful cases of the misleading of the American people in American history." 12
