WTF Is It Now?!?

Rumsfeld/Feith's OSP group skirted the CIA
Tenet claims ignorance

So Dougie Feith's intelligence team is back in the news. In a letter released by the Senate Armed Service Committee, it turns out that the Policy Counter Terror Evaluation Group, the rump intelligence unit that was the basis for Feith's Office of Special Plans, held formal briefings for the NSC and Vice President Cheney's staff. Feith, you'll recall, is the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy who built the OSP and its intelligence unit into the 'lie factory' that produced bogus intelligence on Iraq. Asked if these highly unusual briefings were, well, unusual, CIA Director George Tenet told the committee: 'I don't know. I've never been in the situation.'

'The situation' that Tenet is in now is also unusual. He's pretty much admitted that he spends a large part of his time going around the administration telling Cheney, President Bush and others to stop exaggerating.
