At Least de Soto Likes Him
If you have to fill the position of Energy Secretary (name one thing Spence Abraham did in his term--heck name one thing any secretary did) I guess filling it with someone respected by Hernando de Soto is alright.
But if "gets it" on property rights in the developing world then why waste him at Energy? Send him to USAID, have him run Treasury, or better yet send him to Iraq. It sounds like Samuel Bodman is a wasted talent in a wasteful department.
