Thanks to DU

for this Asia Times link about our friend Richard Perle and more problems with conflict of interest.

I don't think he has any real government position outside of some kind of advisory role, so he's not even accountable for his actions:

"It's the latest in a series of revelations of Perle's business dealings that, in the very least, make clear why he decided against taking an official position in the administration of George W. Bush. It seems that Perle, for all of his hawkishness, wants to get rich in ways that government service may not permit."
