"Mr. Smith" = Fulton Armstrong? (Bolton hearing)

[huckleberry]

Did anyone else hear John Kerry slip and refer to "Mr. Smith" as "Mr. Armstrong" during today's hearing? Below is Mr. Armstrong's bio from the NIC website. The Cuban BW issue was in the papers in 2002 - see http://www.lanuevacuba.com/archivo/notic-02-9-1601.htm - so I'm not sure why they have to refer to Mr. Armstrong as Mr. Smith.

National Intelligence Officer for Latin America
