Good info.

Good grief, the amount of bigotry displayed on this thread is mindboggling.

Is anybody thinking this through? If we can't trust any muslim, then we mine as well pack up and go home in Iraq, because we need muslims we can trust to win.

Anyhow, a guy who worked closely with Paul Wolfowitz (A Jew, BTW), as well as under Reagan, is NOT bad credentials. He sounds like an excellent choice.
