Right. Some people say 'don't condemn him...' when they mean 'he shouldn't be condemned...' I took your words to be directed at me, rather than at anyone.

Yes, indeed. In fact, there is no law or rule against discrimination in political appointments. If he was applying for a job opening in the government, that would be a different story.

His appointment will cause trouble for the Bush administration, no matter how wonderfully or horribly he performs. Thus, I believe, appointing him is an idiotic political decision, and I hope it is reversed.
I think you are right on this point. I dont think it will be reversed though, to many other things in politics for bush to care about this guy, he has to worry about Sadam.
