ANOTHER IN THE "PARADE OF HORRIBLES"

Fascinating article in The New Yorker about neocon Douglas Feith, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy. This is the guy General Tommy Franks called "the f---ing stupidest guy on the face of the earth."

When I asked, for instance, if the Administration was too enamored of the idea that Iraqis would greet American troops with flowers, he argued that some Iraqis were still too intimidated by the remnants of Saddam’s Baath Party to express their emotions openly. “But,” Feith said, “they had flowers in their minds.”
