Does anyone know who this gentleman is who is sitting in the "honor chair" next to the President, with Rumsfeld on the couch to his right?

I had heard that there was an Assistance Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (new post) that was supposed to be filled by Bob Marpone. So, I'm wondering, is the guy in the chair to Dubya's right the new Asst. Secretary?

BTW, this new position is quite a challenge. For the first time, the Pentagon will attempt to have a joint forces intelligence world. Needless to say, CIA, FBI, NSA and others are trying to figure out how to "avoid" doing what this position will obviously attempt to accomplish - unified, single verification of intelligence, eliminating turf control, and vertical and horizontal dissemination of intel.

That's Paul Bremer, I'm pretty sure. Just appointed to something, but I'm not keeping up very well right now, so can't tell you what he was appointed to!
