Technocrats?

I ran across this quote this morning and became curious about the use of the term “technocrat”.

“After meeting Rumsfeld, new Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari told reporters he hoped for a stable political transition and an inclusive government.
"I don't deny that there are challenges," said Jaafari, a moderate Islamist who heads Dawa, a Shi'ite political party that opposed Saddam's regime for decades in exile.
"I am sure we are going to form very good ministries. All of them (workers) they are good technocrats. They are very effective from different backgrounds. So I think we can cooperate, all of us, and face these challenges successfully."”

So here is a definition of Technocrat, as found by Google.

An advocate of technocracy, an anticapitalistic fallacy that was popular in the depression days of the early 1930's. Technocrats sought their utopia in (1) the abolition of profits, businessmen and market principles, and (2) the establishment of a society run by industrial engineers and other technical experts in accordance with the principles of advanced technology.

Now I’m baffled…should we be excited by this good? news from Baghdad? And does Rummy know what he said?
