Meet Debra Cagan ­ “Deputy Assistant Secretary, Coalition Affairs, Global Security Affairs, United States Department of Defense” and new hero of the Bush Administration. What has Robert Gates’ top gal at the Pentagon done to attract the world’s attention beyond dressing in a scary red leather bondage outfit topped off with a white Nazi Iron Cross? She told a group of British MPs how much she hated those goddmaned Iranians, that’s what!

According to the occasionally reliable Daily Mail, Cagan made the charming remarks during a Pentagon meeting last month (on September 11, obviously). It was her tone when they met her on September 11 that shocked them most.

The MPs say that at one point she said: “In any case, I hate all Iranians.”

Although it was an aside, it was not out of keeping with her general demeanour. “She seemed more keen on saying she didn’t like Iranians than that the US had no plans to attack Iran,” said one MP. “She did say there were no plans for an attack but the tone did not fit the words.”
