From Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo

Former Iraq policy director at the NSC, Robert D. Blackwill has taken a job with the lobbying firm of Barbour Griffith & Rogers (BG&R).

Last year when President Bush's right-hand-man Joe Allbaugh resigned as FEMA chief and wanted to get into the Iraq business, he went to BG&R, where his wife then worked. They set Allbaugh up as New Bridge Strategies ("your bridge to success in Iraq").
