The man from Bogota

Wood Pres. Bush announced today the next Ambassador to Afghanistan: William B. Wood. Wood has an impressive resume that suggests no experience whatsoever in the region (a curious distinction for  the nation's most demanding diplomatic post east of Baghdad...)

Wood's last posting, however, hints at why this president might find him a suitable candidate for the job:

Wood, 56, has spent most of his career in the diplomatic corps, working most recently in Bogotá with Colombia's government against a domestic insurgent group and drug traffickers.

Where did they file those eradication plans?
