Chas Freeman to chair NIC?

Chas Freeman was once lambasted by a WINEP trustee as unworthy of the title of US Ambassador, but instead should be called the "Saudi Ambassador in Washington"... In the Cable, here

"...Freeman (shown above shaking hands with Chinese President Hu Jintao) has told associatesthat in the job, he will occasionally accompany Director of National Intelligence Adm. Dennis Blair to give the president his daily intelligence briefing. His predecessor, Thomas Fingar, wore a second hat as deputy director of national intelligence for analysis (a job held since December by Peter Lavoy); sources thought it unclear whether Freeman would have that title as well...Freeman, who was Richard Nixon's principal translator in Beijing in 1972, has been traveling in China and could not be reached."
