An article in the Times...

...this morning, "Arrest Order for Sunni Leader in Iraq Opens New Rift," mentions a guy named Tommy Vietor, above:

In Washington, where officials have been quietly celebrating the end of the war, Obama administration officials sounded alarmed about the arrest order for Mr. Hashimi. “We are talking to all of the parties and expressed our concern regarding these developments,” said Tommy Vietor, the National Security Council spokesman. “We are urging all sides to work to resolve differences peacefully and through dialogue, in a manner consistent with the rule of law and the democratic political process.”

Tommy? (Does his mother know he has that job?)

Oh well, at least it's an improvement over his predecessor in that role, Mike Hammer. Now where have I heard that name before...
