you actually believe that Tenet woke up this morning, and after agreeing not to leave on previous occassions, he woke up and decided to leave today because of personal and financial reasons, 150 days before the election?

It would be much better if you tried to at least give the appearance of having the facts.

Tenet spoke with Bush last night and told him he wanted to leave.

And you obviously didn't see Bush this morning -- he didn't even have a prepared statement!

Not EVERYTHING is as sinister or as bad as you want it to be.

no disrespect intended, but its spin. I don't know the real reason he left, here is one theory already floating:

its something more then personal and financial reasons.

Chill on this one. I bet that his 7 years was the equivalent of double that. Deutsch was worse. Its a good thing. He had a very, very hard job.
