Daily Pundit cites a New York Times story in which the Congressional Quarterly national security editor asks the chief of the F.B.I.'s new national security branch: Iran and Hezbollah, are they Sunni or Shiite? His answer, "Sunni," is wrong. At least Condi Rice understands the difference, as I pointed out yesterday.
Update: James Joyner at Outside The Beltway adds two more names of intelligence officials who were not able to answer the question correctly. They are Rep. Terry Everett, vice chairman of the House intelligence subcommittee on technical and tactical intelligence and Rep. Jo Ann Davis, chairman of the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Terrorism, Human Intelligence, Analysis and Counter-Intelligence.
