"The appointment is being seen in Washington as a victory for the secretary of state, Colin Powell, in his battle with the Pentagon for control over Iraq's future....

"Gen Garner, a personal friend of defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld, is a controversial figure because of his links to the arms industry and his public statements in support of Ariel Sharon's government in Israel. ..."
