| Two Questions for George Tenet |
| Saturday, November 05, 2005 |
Finally, the spotlight has started to swing away from Lewis Libby and his allegedly perjurous grand-jury testimony toward where that spotlight should have focused all along: on the CIA�s incompetent, weird � and possibly treasonous�response to Vice President Cheney�s inquiry about Iraq�s interest in purchasing yellowcake from Niger.
All this raises two important questions for George Tenet, who was Director of Central Intelligence during all the time that �Plamegate� was going on:
� Why did the CIA, under your direction, treat the Vice President�s query about Iraqi efforts to purchase yellowcake in Niger so casually?
� When Joe Wilson started blabbing in public about his CIA mission to Niger � and lying about what he reported to the CIA upon his return � why didn�t you say something rather than allow the President�s credibility to be shredded?
These days George Tenet � to whom President Bush inexplicably awarded the Medal of Freedom, our country�s highest civilian honor�is raking in a fortune on the lecture circuit. Perhaps someone in his next audience will take the opportunity to ask these questions and insist on answers � which is more than any of the hot-shot reporters in Washington seems interested in doing. |

Sorry to disagree buddy!
George Tennet did a magnificent job, under terribly trying circumstances. He stayed on longer than was expected, even though he had much more lucrative opportunity knocking down his door.
The "Slam Dunk" comment is akin to Bush Senior's comment "Read My Lips! No new taxes!!!"
