Paul Wolfowitz, The Pentagon, and His Whore

  Paul Wolfowitz has been a very busy, corrupt Bush loyalist way before the World Bank story came out, especially for his little whore, Shaha Ali Riza.

Sidney Blumenthal has come up with some juicy details on the dealings ( illegal ) of Mr. Wolfowitz, which you may find interesting.

Back in 2003, Wolfowitz had taken care of Riza by directing his trusted Pentagon deputy, Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith -- who had been in charge of the Office of Special Plans and had been Wolfowitz's partner in managing the CPA -- to arrange for a military contract for her from Science Applications International Corp. When the contract was exposed this week, SAIC issued a statement that it "had no role in the selection of the personnel." In other words, the firm with hundreds of millions in contracts at stake had been ordered to hire Riza.   

Riza, who is not a U.S. citizen, had to receive a security clearance in order to work at the State Department. Who intervened? It is not unusual to have British or French midlevel officers at the department on exchange programs, but they receive security clearances based on the clearances they already have with their host governments. Granting a foreign national who is detailed from an international organization a security clearance, however, is extraordinary, even unprecedented. So how could this clearance have been granted?      Full Article from Salon

   One corrupt person trying to police corruption somewhere else is the same as one person policing pedophiles while being one himself. It don't work.
