Who is George Wolfe?

apparently he's the "American business czar" who is "director of economic policy for the occupation authority" according to this NY Times article. I've never heard of him. This seems like one of those jobs that'd be really important if things are going to work out.

This article says Wolfe is "a senior US Treasury Department lawyer and a strong loyalist of the department’s foreign policies" and I gather as well from that article that he is not the first man in the job, having replaced a guy named Peter McPherson.

A Google news search" returns more articles about the Portland State women's basketball coach than the George Wolfe that I'm interested in.

Here is a FT article about Chalabi that mentions Wolfe. I'm not really asking anything here, but I thought there were some good articles uncovered while I was looking for information on this guy. It also started me thinking about economic planning on the macro level, and what a crazy job/area of expertise that must be.

Oops, just noticed I didn't mention this was all about Iraq. Yes folks, it's another Iraq thread, sorry, I'm blitzed and feeling blabby.

I thought this was going to be about the Broadway director.

goddamn why do I always start weird political threads while I'm drunk?
