James Fallows on Wolfowitz, McNamara, and the ghosts that haunt you


James Fallows picks apart a recent interview with Paul Wolfowitz. Wolfowitz was never formally prosecuted for his role in the U.S. invasion of Iraq, but like Robert McNamara, he will  not be able to escape it. It will haunt him, just like McNamara’s role in Vietnam haunted him. This is as it should be. As consequences go, it is actually minor, though the actors in both cases many not see it that way.

Fallows is always good. See Festival of updates #5: Wolfowitz and Iraq – James Fallows for more on this story.
