More on Feith
Soon to appear at a Borders, Barnes & Noble or corruption investigation near you: Douglas Feith0 comments
I'd forgotten these two Feith stories:Feith's work at the Pentagon drew widespread criticism from both in and outside government. Gen. Tommy Franks, the commander of the Iraq invasion, once referred to him as the "stupidest guy on the face of the earth." When Feith was given his teaching post at Georgetown, several dozen faculty and administrators signed a letter of protest, some accusing him of condoning torture and being guilty of war crimes.
Now, those are resume toppers for ya!
Update:
Bad Gotham! Bad Gotham!
I had remembered the Franks quote, but hadn't remembered it correctly. I thereby shortchanged the eloquence of former Gen. Franks. Here is his exact quote:
Douglas Feith is "the fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth."
Our apologies to the General.
