Internships for the next generation of neo-cons at the Heritage Foundation--the Bushies favorite think tank

Next Generation of Conservatives (By the Dormful) - New York Times

Peter Galbraith tells a great story about Heritage and its role in placing unqualified fellow travelers in important positions in Iraq. Three young people--one imagines them as fresh-faced interns--find themselves in the Green Zone in Baghdad in an office that is supposed to dispense money for Iraq's rebuilding. None of the three is qualified for the job and they cannot figure out how they landed the job. Finally, the clueless trio figures out the common denominator: they each submitted resumes to Heritage. From this story, dear reader, you have deduced that at hard right think tank was screening applicants for jobs in Iraq.
