DOC DUMP: Addington’s letter reads like he’s the actual head of the CIA.

[kpete]

Today’s document dump includes an interesting snapshot of the Administration response to the Commission request. (PDF 25-30)

*****It appears that David Addington took the lead on refusing the 9/11 Commission’s request. It appears Addington got the draft of the letter from 9/11 Commission–which was addressed to Rummy and George Tenet. Tenet and Addington clearly had a conversation about how to respond. But it seems that Addington drafted the response, got Condi, Andy Card, and Alberto Gonzales to review it, and then sent it to Tenet (and, presumably, Rummy) to okay and sign the letter.

In other words, OVP had the lead in refusing the 9/11 Commission’s request for more information from the detainees.

If you could find some pics of Stalin's "show trial" lawyers and Hitlers legal justificationists, you can bet your ass they were wearing the same shit-eating grins.
