This Morton Halperin wouldn't happen to have a son named Mark that works for ABC does he?

[Fedora]

Yes, Morton's son Mark is Political Director at ABC. And Vince Cannistraro, one of the key anti-Bush propagandists, has been an ABC intelligence consultant and has been quoted in ABC segments on the Niger forgeries. And Joseph Wilson and Carl Levin appeared together with France's ambassador on ABC's Nightline on March 4, 2003, right after Levin got back from a fact-finding tour of the Middle East related to Levin's interest in the Niger forgery investigation. . .I don't know if Halperin is the mastermind per se or someone's front man, but he and his friend Anthony Lake are near the heart of the beast IMO.
