It’s not like we have so many honest men around that we can afford to lose them. Mr Drumheller was one of the few who declined to go along with the lies agreed upon by so many others. I don’t expect George Tenet to be at his funeral, much less Powell or Rice or Cheney, Rumsfeld, or Bush. RIP, an honest man.

How do you know Drumheller was honest? He had his opinions, and others in the CIA had theirs, but you’re very quick to claim Drumheller’s opinions were correct. Leaders have to make difficult decisions during their tenure, knowing full well that the Monday morning quarterbacks among us will criticize their decisions as soon as they’re made. I don’t envy those leaders at all, but I do admire their fortitude.

sent Hillary a lot of bad intel on Libya...Tenet has memos that seem to indicate that he didn't refute curveball at the time

Looks like Tyler had loose lips and so did whoever it was who leaked to him...

From Trey Gowdy's letter to Elijah Cummings- mentionof Tyler Drumheller's apparent leak to Blumenthal of leak to Tyler of a CIA asset's name :

"In addition to Sidney Blumenthal’s business interests, Secretary Clinton also apparently received classified information from Blumenthal—information she should have known was classified at the time she received it. In one email, Blumenthal writes “Tyler spoke to a colleague currently at CIA, who told him the agency had been dependent for intelligence from [redacted due to sources and methods].”48 This information, the name of a human source, is some of the most protected information in our intelligence community, the release of which could jeopardize not only national security but also human lives. Armed with that information, Secretary Clinton forwarded the email to a colleague—debunking her claim that she never sent any classified information from her private email address.”
