I agree with what you said. I challenge anyone to go into that hornets nest at the CIA and straighten it out with the bureaucratic mess that has taken years and years to put in place and now try to figure it out quickly. It's even gotten worse since 9-11, there are 1000's plotting against us, not to mention countries plotting against us. How in the world do we get the handle on this now quickly? And is it even possible to thwart every attack. They've done darn well, I might add since 9-11.

From the tone of President Bush's voice (oops time out had to change channel to remove Pelosi from my TV)

From the tone of President Bush's voice this morning I have a feeling Director Tenet may be ill. Or, someone in his family may be ill. President Bush was visibly shaken and I don't think it's simply because the Director submitted a letter of resignation. I can't bash this man until I know the whole story and we quite possibly never will.

Chris Wallace on Fox confirms that Tenet wanted to leave before.

Someone earlier on this thread wanted to know if that was a true story.

I, too, suspect that this has to do with health reasons or other major personal reasons.
