Notorious neocon Douglas J. Feith --aka "the dumbest fucking guy on the planet"-- is
under investigation by the Department of Defense. That investigation is said to be holding up the Senate's (already reluctant) hearing into bogus pre-war intelligence that led us into Iraq.
Feith and the Pentagon have made the case that they will not share any information until the Senate provides them with full documentation of what the investigation is looking into, documentary evidence that Senate staff have acquired, and any other key findings that Feith's lawyers believe should be made available to them.
More after the fold.
Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Pat Roberts (R-KN) has deferred to the Pentagon's Inspector General, allowing the Pentagon to investigate itself, Feith and its clandestine Office of Special Plans. Feith played a prominent role in the Office of Special Plans, a unit of the Pentagon that collected information favorable to the Administration's case which purported that Iraq was harboring weapons of mass destruction.
Donald Rumsfeld is implicated in this aspect of the slow-burning scandal as well, as it was Rumsfeld that personally restored Feith's security clearance which had been stripped from him in the 1980's for allegations of passing secrets to Israel.

Standard Israel-First Fanatic Disclaimer: You've probably noticed the roving gang of Israel-First thugs that patrol DailyKos to guard against any discussion that touches upon the uncomfortable reality that America's and Israel's national interests can conflict. The reason they are so strident is that the conflict between America's and Israel's national security interests has never been so stark and dangerous as it is today, on the eve of a newly manufactured unnecessary war on Iran.
I encourage you not to waste your time feeding these trolls and instead go to the source material itself. If you find it valuable, spread those links as widely as possible to friends, family and colleagues.
I also encourage you to learn more about how Isreal polices and warps discourse in American media on this subject through watchdog grouops such as CAMERA here.
Remember, America's national security is too important to be left to Israel.
