Afghanistan Metrics Getting Briefed to the Senate

At noon today. Laura Rozen reports:

Scheduled to brief members: Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy; Holbrooke deputy Paul Jones; the ODNI’s Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Analysis and South Asia expert Dr. Peter Lavoy; NSC holdover “war czar” Ltn. Gen. Douglas Lute; and Joint Chiefs of Staff  Director for Strategic Plans and Policy Vice Admiral James Winnefeld.

I wonder how this briefing will color this afternoon’s big Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Afghanistan.
