Norah O'Donnell reported on Hardball tonight that Congressman Jane Harman, top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, says there is a second NIE that deals entirely with Iraq and its impact on the global war on terror. Harman demands that this alternate report -- which is being stamped "Draft" for purposes of not having to release it -- be made public immediately. Very, very sneaky...

TPM has more: There's a second damning Iraq report floating around the intelligence community. At least, that's according to Rep. Jane Harman (CA), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. At an event this morning, Harman disclosed the existence of a classified intelligence community report that gives a grim assessment of the situation in Iraq, and called for it to be shared with the American public -- before the November elections. The report has not been shared with Congress, although sources say a draft version may have circulated earlier this summer. It is a separate report from the one revealed by major news outlets Sunday, which is said to conclude that the war in Iraq has made the U.S. less secure from terrorist threats.
