"Similarly, under questioning from Senators Olympia Snow and Ron Wyden, Hayden never to my ears quite answered their question of who had determined that only the "Gang of Eight" should be briefed on the domestic surveillance programs - rather than the full Intelligence committee (which was finally briefed in full yesterday), as normally required by the 1947 National Security Act. And yet he managed to imply quite strongly that it would have been his preference to brief everybody."

"... What (former National Security Agency Director Bobby Ray Inman) shared with some of us -- and this was a repeated assertion from comments that I have confirmed that he made in Austin -- is that the person in Patrick Fitzgerald's bull's eye is Richard Armitage... Inman stating that Richard Armitage is the target of indictment is news and could have some veracity because of who Inman is."ooooh - tom maguire must be drooling right now, emptywheel and her redaction posse too.
* speaking of emptywheel, here's her piece on judy & 911. she thinks richard clarke was probably the source.

"Earlier this week, it was reported that Neil Volz, former aide to Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH), who pleaded guilty and is cooperating with the Government's investigation, will be a trial witness against Safavian.
Now, if Safavian decides to plead guilty and cooperate, who will he turn on?"
