This is an example of the same cluelessness which believes Rove behind everything. This policy did not result from Perle or any of these people. Gossip mongering is not the same thing as information.

Richard Perle was appointed by this administration to serve as the head of the Defense Policy Board at the Pentagon (long before 9/11, BTW). He was put there for a reason -- and a cursory examination of his background will tell you exactly what that reason was.

If you think he didn't play a major role in the Iraq war, then you're delusional.
