The Resume

    (July 16, 1953- )
    Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
    Member of the National Security Council (NSC; 1981-82)
    Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Negotiations Policy (1984-86)
    Undersecretary of Defense for Policy (2001-05)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was allegedly fired from the NSC when the FBI suspected him of passing classified information to Israel.
    He headed the Office of Special Plans (OSP) at the Pentagon which manipulated intelligence to build support for the war against Iraq.
    His former deputy, Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, described the OSP as a 'propaganda shop.'
    Colin Powell called the OSP a 'Gestapo' office because it was a separate, unregulated authority within the Pentagon.
    According to Judge Advocate General lawyers, he called the Geneva Convention 'law in the service of terror.'
    General Tommy Franks called him 'the dumbest fucking guy on the planet.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He received the Defense Department's highest civilian award, the Distinguished Public Service Medal (1986).
    General Peter Pace said, 'I have watched this man for four years. He cares only about what is best for the United States.'
    The Defense Department Inspector General concluded that Feith's actions at the OSP were 'inappropriate' but not illegal.
