Jewish war architect gets ink

On Thursday, the Washington Post confirmed it had fired liberal online columnist Dan Froomkin. On Friday, they gave a guest column to Bush war architect Paul Wolfowitz.

'How we did it?'

To be fair, Wolfowitz isn’t being paid, and his column is a guest editorial. But the paper’s promotion of a man who was a key architect of President George W. Bush’s policy on Iraq — and one of its most ardent hawks — is sure to raise eyebrows among the liberals and those critical of the Post’s coverage in the run-up to the Iraq war.

Wolfowitz’s column? How Obama needs to take a harder line on Iran. It’s titled, “No Comment is Not an Option.”

“Like the rest of the world, President Obama must have been surprised by the magnitude of the protests in Iran,” Wolfowitz writes. “Iranians are protesting not just election fraud but also the growing abuses of the Iranian people by a dictatorial regime. Now is not the time for the president to dig in to a neutral posture. It is time to change course.” More
