Seeing that JdHS gets all the bad rap, the media must be hunting for him. Any reactions from him yet?

Leiden University - sector International Law in The Hague - has announced Mr. Jaap de Hoop Scheffer to be lecturer for studies of peace, law and security. JdHS has been representative of OSCE in the period of his tenure as Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Sector of Law was named after one of his predecessors Prof. Dr. P.H. Kooijmans.

To answer your question: no, he will not be involved in the present day political debate. I always considered JdHS as the bad architect of Iraq policy. He was on friendly terms with Condoleeza Rice and the Bush family. The present Minister of Foreign Affairs will take responsibility (even resignation) for past events. Usually the number of years gone by limits his political liability.

"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
