Viet Dinh, a Vietnamese immigrant (he wrote a moving account of his family's perilous journey to the United States in a 1993 Op-Ed piece in the New York Times) and Georgetown Law Center professor, has been chosen as Assistant Attorney General for Policy Development. Described by a colleague as a "conservative hotshot," he worked with former Senator Alfonse D'Amato on the Whitewater investigation and is close to active members of the Federalist Society. In addition to being the department's point man for judicial selection, he will have major responsibility for developing its priorities.

The interesting thing is that Viet Dinh currently holds a seat on the Board of Directors of News Corps, FOX News Channel's parent company. http://www.newshounds.us/radical_right/index.php
