Former NY Police Commish to head Iraqâs ministry of interior
EFLFormer Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik said last night that he expects to go to Iraq next week to become the head of the ministry of the interior for the Pentagon's reconstruction team. A White House spokesman said he was unable to confirm the appointment but added: "White House officials praised Kerik as a fine public servant and top-notch law enforcement officer." Sources said that Kerik, who served as police commissioner under former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, was contacted directly by the White House to assume the law-enforcement job in Iraq. After New York City, Iraq should be a snap. "I will be there at least six months - until the job is done," Kerik said. Kerik, who now works as an anti-terrorism expert for Giuliani's consulting firm - Giuliani Partners - rushed to the World Trade Center with the former mayor on Sept. 11, 2001, and was at the base of Tower Two when the second jetliner crashed into the skyscraper. OK, we can stop worrying about Iraqi lawlessness now. Not quite as brilliant as having Giuliani run the country, but it'll do.
