Names: Strategic communications directors, DHS intel chief

Sources tell The Cable that Jonathan Prince, a former deputy campaign manager for John Edwards, is expected to become the director of strategic communications for the team of State Department special envoys and representatives. Previously, Prince was a senior adviser and speechwriter in the Clinton White House, and handled communications strategy at NATO during the Kosovo war.

Moira Whelan, director of strategy and outreach at the National Security Network, is slated to start next week as the director of strategic communications at the Department of Homeland Security. Previously, Whelan served as communications director for the Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, and as communications director for the Democratic staff of the House Select Committee on Homeland Security.

Multiple sources said that Philip Mudd, a veteran CIA analyst and former CTC official who has been working since 2005 as the deputy head of the FBI's national security division, will become the top intelligence official at the Department of Homeland Security.

UPDATE: Todd Rosenblum has informed colleagues that he recently assumed the position of DHS deputy under secretary of intelligence. A former State Department civil servant, Rosenblum had been working as national security/intelligence staffer for Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) for the last seven years.
