So the Telegraph reports. I’m skeptical, but we’ll see (or not! since it’s supposed to be covert). The NY Sun has more. From the Telegraph:

American agents are poised to take covert action against the terrorist group Hezbollah. The Central Intelligence Agency has been authorized to move against it as part of a secret plan by President Bush to help the Lebanese government halt the spread of Iranian influence. Senators and congressmen have been briefed on the classified “nonlethal presidential finding” that allows the CIA to provide financial and logistical support to Prime Minister Siniora. Mr. Bush signed the finding before Christmas, after discussions between his aides and Saudi Arabian officials. Details of its existence, known only to a small circle of White House officials, intelligence officials, and members of Congress, have been passed to the Daily Telegraph.
