CQ: Iraq Intelligence Horror Stories, told by Lang and Wilkerson

Via Steve Clemons' WashingtonNote, (excerpt). CQ story here.
Lang went to see him (Feith), he recalled during a May 7 panel discussion at the University of the District of Columbia.
“He was sitting there munching a sandwich while he was talking to me,” Lang recalled, “ which I thought was remarkable in itself, but he also had these briefing papers — they always had briefing papers, you know — about me.
“He’s looking at this stuff, and he says, ‘I’ve heard of you. I heard of you.’
“He says, ‘Is it really true that you really know the Arabs this well, and that you speak Arabic this well? Is that really true? Is that really true?’
“And I said, ‘Yeah, that’s really true.’

‘That’s too bad,” Feith said.
