Doug Feith talked to Wolf Blitzer today in the Situation Room. He came to defend his role in the production of intelligence assessments that were meant to push the professional intelligence community to concede that there was an Iraq-al-Qaeda connection before the US invasion of Iraq. It looked to me like at some point Wolf made him sweat, so this is a preview of what will happen to him when he goes testifying before Levin, or Rockefeller on the activities of his OSP.

Lets start with a key portion of the interview, right below the fold...

In a Newsweek article just published, the lawyer for John Hannah comes public and here it is as reported by the magazine:

Some lawyers close to the case are convinced Fitzgerald has a mysterious "Mr. X"--a yet unknown principal target or cooperating witness. Some press reports identified John Hannah, Cheney's deputy national-security adviser, as a potentially key figure in the investigation. Hannah played a central policymaking role on Iraq and was known to be particularly close to Ahmad Chalabi, whose Iraqi National Congress supplied some of the faulty intelligence about WMD embraced by the vice president in the run-up to the invasion. Lawyers for Rove and Libby have said their clients did nothing wrong and broke no laws. Last week Hannah's lawyer Thomas Green told NEWSWEEK his client "knew nothing" about the leak and is not a target of Fitzgerald's probe. "This is craziness," he said.
