White House counterterrorism official dumps Bush

[CatWoman]

Todd Hinnen, a counterterrorism adviser on the National Security Council staff, is leaving to become chief counsel on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee under Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE), where he will head oversight of the administration’s national security policies. A White House ally remarked: “Once again, people on the Bush White House staff turn on him while our soldiers and Marines fight to protect the rest of us.”

3. Anyone who can read the papers knows what really happened...

By joining Biden, Mr Hinnen is redeeming himself. Others should join him. Quickly.
