Poor poor Tenet...poor poor CIA. Didja hear the news? Tenet took the blame for misleading Bush about Iraq and Saddam Hussein getting uranium from Africa... In his own words.... Anywayz, it's pretty sad stuff. Someone had to take the fall...and it's usually the CIA or some other branch of government. That's their jobs. Even if they weren't the ones misleading. Perhaps they were even being leaned on (ehh...), but regardless, someone has to answer, and the president cannot be undermined. So, now the poor CIA is again humiliated, and much like pre-Cold War...I fear this will do it no good for credibility or operational activities in the future. oh well. sucks doesn't it?
