Ever hear of the State Department's "Office of Iranian Affairs"??
Hmm, neither did I until I came across mentions of this Office while researching some other things (related to the Cheney family).

1. Look who involved. The usual suspects......
According to Rozen: "The State Department's new Iranian Affairs office is headed by David Denehy, a longtime democracy specialist at the International Republican Institute , who will work under Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Elizabeth Cheney, daughter of the vice president." Patricia Kushlis, a blogger and former Foreign Service officer, contested part of Rozen's account, pointing out that " Cheney was principal deputy assistant secretary, not assistant secretary for the Near East, and Denehy's working for her is highly unlikely since, according to an AP report on May 19, <2006>, she will soon leave State to produce her fifth child." Cheney stepped down from her State post in early 2006.

2. Yep, Elizabeth Cheney-then, as I recall, Liz helped Wolfowitz's pal Shaha Ali Riza
get a position in the State Department, which upset the World Bank Board-I mean, who could make this stuff up Joanne98?

Liz Cheney also helped her old law school pal Kyle Sampson (remember him) out to make the move to DC and into the thoroughly corrupted BFEE.

Here's a good article about Liz Cheney at the State Department

"The Commissar's In Town" by Robert Dreyfuss (5-21-2006 American Prospect)

3. Sometimes I think I hate Liz more than Dick.

4. "Elizabeth CHENEY was also a 'colleague' of Wolfowitz's partner Shaha Ali Riza"

(archived post from 4-13-2007) mentions the connections to Liz Cheney's VENTURE FUND Middle East Partnership Initiative/MEPI, SAIC's 7 no-bid Iraq contracts, and other indictment worthy facts
