I’ll be covering Eric Holder’s showdown testimony in the Senate Judiciary Committee for the Washington Independent this morning.

Just to torture me, the Senate Armed Services Committee counterprogrammed a really big hearing on Iran, with every administration witness you would want: Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy. Gen. James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Bill Burns. Lt. Gen. Ronald Burgess, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. And Andrew Gibb, the national intelligence officer for weapons of mass destruction at the National Intelligence Council, who will write whatever new National Intelligence Estimate on Iran’s nuclear program ultimately gets produced.

I can’t cover it, owing to nettlesome laws of physics. But you can watch the webcast on the committee’s page, and please do read my Holder coverage.
