Quickhits

The Democrats got an amendment unanimously added to the Defense bill reinstating the CIA unit dedicated to hunting Osama Bin Laden.

Steve Clemmons says the Bolton nomination is dead. I wouldn't count it out yet, but it's certainly on life support. Later: WaPo says it was Chafee.

(Reuters) The Secret Prisons story was brought into the light after "an appeal from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Bush to consider the administration's legacy, the Post said citing unnamed officials." (WaPo original story.)

Part of the Phase II Senate Intelligence report is due out today. Revised: It's out. Conclusion, there was no connection at all between Saddam and Al Qaeda. (That means the White House lied!) WaPo, NYTimes, the two reports in .pdf - INC intel, postwar truth vs pre war statements.
