the FPDs are constrained from protesting the war's bogus "weapons of mass destruction" rationale because they, too, thought Saddam was hiding chemical and biological weapons.

Both Berger and Cohen have a profit motive not to alienate the Bushies. Berger is co-chair (with Republican lobbyist Charles Black) of the Civitas Group, which helps companies win government contracts related to homeland defense. One of the firm's board members is Joe Allbaugh, who was Bush's gubernatorial chief of staff and until recently served as director of the Federal Emergency Management Administration. Cohen runs something called the Cohen Group, which helps "multinational clients explore opportunities overseas." One of the countries the Cohen Group does business in is Iraq.

Probably alone among this group, Albright and Holbrooke each have a motive to hold the spotlight. For Albright, it's to sell her recently-published memoir, Madam Secretary.
