Richard Perle is looking into an oil deal in Iraq.
Mr. Perle, one of a group of security experts who began pushing the case for toppling Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein about a decade ago, has been discussing a possible deal with officials of northern Iraq’s Kurdistan regional government, including its Washington envoy, according to these people and the documents.
Think Progress remembers that Perle “resigned from his position on the Defense Policy Board in an attempt to ‘defuse a controversy over charges he stood to profit from the war in Iraq.'”
Knock me over with a feather! You gotta love this sort of patriotism.
