Galbraith's vast, undisclosed interests in the policies he spent years advocating as an 'expert'

I suppose the old saw about those in glass houses throwing stones is appropriate here.

Then again I don't suppose any honest unimpeachable persons would be appointed to these types of positions in the first place, as there is no leverage over them.

Precisely.

It appears that Peter Galbraith was allowed his share of the pie, until he broke ranks.

He is now being punished to remind the others of the consequences of even the merest display of independent thought.

Btw - are we really meant to believe that noone knew nuffin, guv, about Galbraith's interests with a company looking to exploit Kurdish oilfields?
