	Richard Perle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Richard Norman Perle (born September 16, 1941 in New York City), is an American political advisor who served the Reagan administration as an assistant Secretary of Defense and served on the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee from 1987 to 2004.
		Perle was considered a hardliner in arms reduction negotiations with the Soviet Union and has stated that his opposition to arms control under the Carter administration had to do with his view that the US was giving up too much at the negotiation table and not receiving nearly enough concessions from the Soviets.
		Perle is co-founder of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), a spin-off from the American Enterprise Institute.

	American Politics Journal -- Richard Perle: Dead Man Walking
		Perle shares his place on the FDD board with such luminaries as Charles Krauthammer, William Kristol, and Gary Bauer, all of whom are well known for their adamant ultraconservative viewpoints (and, in the case of Bauer, a walking argument for psychiatric evaluation).
		Perle denied this was a conflict of interest, insisting that although he received payment for these services after he had assumed his position in the Defense Department, he was between government jobs when he worked for the Israeli firm.
		Perle, as Chairman of the Defense Policy Board (which is an advisory group that reports to Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz), is reported to have once presented a written document to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spelling out a new Israel foreign policy.

		Perle emerged, by virtue of his position on the policy board, as a natural catch; he was “the hook,” Khashoggi said, for obtaining the investment from Zuhair.
		Perle, in a series of telephone interviews, acknowledged that he had met with two Saudis at the lunch in Marseilles, but he did not divulge their identities.
		When Perle was asked whether his dealings with Trireme might present the appearance of a conflict of interest, he said that anyone who saw such a conflict would be thinking “maliciously.” But Perle, in crisscrossing between the public and the private sectors, has put himself in a difficult position—one not uncommon to public men.

		Perle's Defense Department supporters had been eager to bring him back to the Pentagon, but they knew that his controversial Reagan-era record would make it difficult, if not impossible, for him to get confirmed by the Senate.
		Perle's media campaign is part of the larger and much-publicized debate among Republican defense and foreign-policy hands over how the war on terrorism should be conducted: a worldwide attack on al-Qaeda and its supporters or a broader ranging, Godfather-like settling of accounts with all of America's enemies.
		Perle's foreign-policy freelancing first raised eyebrows on October 5, when he chided the British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw in The Daily Telegraph for a "failed" and "embarrassing" mission to Iran in which Straw sought to enlist Tehran's assistance in the war against terrorism.

		RICHARD PERLE, the former US Assistant Defence Secretary and Hollinger International board member, is under investigation for allegedly failing to disclose bonuses worth about $3 million (£1.6 million) which he received for running an investment scheme, The Times has learnt.
		Pentagon adviser Richard N. Perle coauthored an opinion piece this summer praising a Pentagon plan to lease tanker aircraft -- which had the potential to steer billions of dollars to Boeing Co. -- 16 months after Boeing committed to invest $20 million with a venture capital firm where Perle was a principal.
		Perle did not disclose Boeing's $20 million "stake" in Trireme, and Boeing said it had no knowledge that Perle had advised the company on the leasing arrangement.

	The armchair general - Salon
		Perle is arguably the Beltway's most influential foreign-policy hawk, an outside-insider who's used his bully pulpit as chairman of the quasi-official Defense Policy Board to argue on behalf of neo-conservatives that a full-scale, preemptive strike against Iraq must be the next move in America's post-Sept. 11 war on terrorism.
		In 1981 Perle was appointed deputy secretary of defense, where he earned the nickname "Prince of Darkness" for opposing arms-control agreements with the Soviets.
		For Perle, the unpaid Defense Policy Board position allows him to say he's not speaking for the administration when he advocates war with Iraq during media appearances, and to articulate extreme positions that government officials perhaps cannot.

		Perle's resignation, accepted by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, is a major blow to the neo-conservative chicken-hawk faction, but he remains a member of the DPB.
		Perle also made it clear, that in making an invasion of Iraq the test-case for the "New Empire" paradigm, the much-touted weapons of mass destruction were only a pretext.
		Perle had told the Washington Post that the reference to his position on the Defense Policy Board was put in the affidavit by mistake.

		Perle also serves on the board of directors of Hollinger International Inc., the media company whose chief executive, Conrad Black, resigned last month after disclosures that he and other executives collected millions of dollars payments the company's audit committee determined were unauthorized.
		As stated before, Perle is a managing partner in the venture-capital company called Trireme Partners L.P. Trireme’s main business, according to a two-page letter that one of its representatives sent to Khashoggi last November, is to invest in companies dealing in technology, goods, and services that are of value to homeland security and defense.
		Early in his tenure as chairman of the Defense Policy Board, Richard Perle spent the better part of a New York-to-Washington flight pestering a Japanese businessman to invest in his new firm Trireme.

	Suing in England, Vacationing in France: the Misplaced Patriotism of Richard Perle, by Christopher Deliso
		There are two very clear indicators that Richard Perle – and the Neocons around him – have been planning for years to depose Saddam for the sake of Israel, whether or not he poses a threat or is involved with terror, and to hell with all other concerns.
		Perle will have a bumpy ride in store for him, however, as new investigations are being made about various other jobs he has acquired through his chairmanship of the Defense Policy Board.
		Perle, who as chairman of the Defense Policy Board has been a leading advocate of the United States' invasion of Iraq, spoke on Wednesday in a conference call sponsored by Goldman Sachs, in which he advised participants on possible investment opportunities arising from the war.

		Perle quit the board because he was hired to help bankrupt telecommunications firm Global Crossing win approval from the Department of Defense to sell the company to a Hong Kong billionaire and lawmakers questioned whether Perle’s dual roles was a conflict-of-interest.
		Perle is a key adviser to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and a leading architect in the Bush administration’s policies toward Iraq.
		Perle denied Thursday that his unpaid advisory role on the policy board would have interfered with his lobbying on behalf of Global Crossing, which is mired in shareholder lawsuits as a result of its questionable accounting practices.

	RICHARD PERLE-30.3.1997
		We're interviewing Richard Perle, who in the 1970s was one of Senator Henry 'Scoop' Jackson's principal aides in Congress.
		I had a telephone call one day from a professor at the University of Chicago, Albert Wallstedder, who was an old friend, who said that the defense debate that was shaping up in the Senate in 1969 was going to turn on the question of the deployment of ballistic missile defenses.
		Now, that this is the same Richard Nixon who was destroyed by a bugging at Watergate is really quite astonishing.

	Perle, Interrupted
		That's why Perle, almost alone in Washington, is allowed to goad the President in public and yet remain in the good graces of his loyalty-obsessed Administration.
		Perle's libel case will almost certainly be tossed as without merit, even in London, with its relatively low standards of proof by the plaintiff.
		Perle's ability to enlist so much of the media in his McCarthyite slander of Hersh must be counted as merely a minor victory for a man who has helped to convince his country to embark on an unprovoked and likely counterproductive war.
