In Slate this afternoon, Chris Suellentrop, has a short profile of Doug Feith, the man who put the FU in the FUBAR that is the American adventure in Iraq. The subheading of the piece pretty much says it all: “What has the Pentagon’s third man done wrong? Everything.”

Feith has become the living, breathing, employed example of the fact that epochal screw-ups are the best source of job security within the Bush administration.

If anything, I’d say Chris lets Feith off a bit easy on several counts. But then, consider the source (i.e., me).

In any case, take a look.
