Dan Senor is being trotted out as the "go to guy" for the business

[annabanana]

at the UN today by Morning Joe. Wasn't he within inches of getting indicted a few years ago?

1. He is a Republican. He married a

televison anchor woman whose name I have forgotten. I thought he had faded away. But it is true that a Bush buddy never fades away.

2. I think "Republican" is MUCH to mild a moniker for this neo-con

criminal.

Some notes I found from: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Dan_Senor

Senor's official biography on the White House website<8> gives a selective version of his curriculum vitae. He did his bachelor's degree jointly at the University of Western Ontario and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He then did a stint as a staffer for former Senator Spencer Abraham (R-MI). Senor left Washington to do an MBA at Harvard Business School (1999-2001). During the initial (pre-May 2003) phase of the Iraq war, Senor was Director of the Coalition Information Centre at CENTCOM HQ in Qatar.

The following elements of Senor's CV are not present in the version on the White House website:

In 1993 Senor did an internship<9> at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a powerful pro-Israel lobby organization which some regard as being affiliated to the Likud party. AIPAC's website quotes him as saying: "Whether I was learning the ins and outs of Washington with my fellow interns or attending briefings on Capitol Hill, my internship at AIPAC prepared me for my work in politics". His sister, Wendy Senor Singer, heads AIPAC's office in Jerusalem. His brother-in-law, Saul Singer, is the very right-wing opinion editor of the Jerusalem Post.
Senor is listed as a director<10> on the website of USIBEX, the US-Israel Business Exchange. It describes him as a Senior Associate of the Carlyle Group. It is not clear from the website if this information is still current.
Senor worked for the Carlyle Group as a venture capitalist from 2001 to 2003.<11> The Carlyle Group is a venture capital company specializing in defence and industry which has strong ties to the Bush family.
Before going to Baghdad, Senor was briefly deputy to White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan.<11>
