Rubin, an associate of Doug Feith at the OSP, asked to address Congress on IRAN!

In the Huffington-Post, here

"...Last week, the House Foreign Affairs Committee announced that it was holding a hearing this Wednesday titled, "Iran: Recent DAmong evelopments and Implications for U.S. Policy." ...among the initial four witnesses announced was Patrick Clawson of WINEP fame , ...

On Monday morning, the committee announced two new additions to the hearing, both dyed-in-the-wool neoconservatives. One is Orde F. Kittrie of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, the other is Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute. (These witnesses were chosen by Republican members of the committee.)Rubin's addition, in particular, is stunning. His career highlights include working with Doug Feith in the infamous Office of Special Plans to advance dubious intelligence that helped lead the U.S. into war in Iraq; repeatedly advocating for military action against Iran over the last several years; and, in June, laying out the case for why Ahmadinejad would be preferable to a "more soft-spoken and less defiant" president like Mousavi -- "it would be easier for Obama to believe that Iran really was figuratively unclenching a fist when, in fact, it had it had its other hand hidden under its cloak, grasping a dagger."
