"..........Tenent had only been on the job for a couple/three weeks before 9/11........."

Correct if I'm wrong here, but........................

(1) Tenet served as CIA Director John M. Deutch's deputy from 1995 to 1996 and became director in July 1997 after Anthony Lake withdrew from consideration. George John Tenet was sworn in as Director of Central Intelligence on 11 July 1997.

(2) Tenent was REAPPOINTED by Dubya at the beginning of his administration. Tenet's reappointment was opposed by some conservatives, particularly Sen. Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.), chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Tenet is the first director in 28 years to remain in office after the White House switched parties.

(3) Tenet is also the longest-serving director since William H. Webster bridged the gap between the Reagan and Bush administrations and served a little over four years from 1987 to 1991.

".........I do not know if he will stay for a second term. I would not.........."

My previous comment stands: "This clown dropped the ball on 911.......".

In fact, his resignation should be asked for IMMEDIATELY and someone more competent should be hired. He should not be allowed to leave in his own time-frame, but instead in the President's.
