Undersecretary of defense for policy Eric Edelman, who wrote Hillary Clinton the bitchy note that he wouldn't brief her on any Pentagon contingency planning? He'll be briefing the Senate Armed Services committee in closed session on August 2 about drawdown plans.

From the office of SASC chairman Carl Levin:

ARMED SERVICES

Room S-407, The Capitol

Thursday, August 2, 2007 – 9:30 a.m.

CLOSED

To receive a briefing on drawdown planning for U.S. forces in Iraq.

Briefers:

Honorable Eric S. Edelman
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy

Lieutenant General John F. Sattler, USMC
Director
Strategic Plans and Policy Directorate (J-5)
The Joint Chiefs of Staff

I'm sure the Senators appreciate Edelman's inner growth on the issue of Congressional oversight.
