Of course Tenet was mad but not at the administration. About a month before the sh*t hit the fan, Cheney sent a message to Tenet to advise him to get control of the leaks in the CIA and to find out who in the CIA was talking to reporters? Even at one point Cheney went down there to tell them face to face to cut the crap. Tenet was unable to do either and so bye, bye he went. Some of the CIA employees even went as far as to say that their leaks were protected by the first amendment because it was the only way they could "set the record straight".

"Some of the CIA employees even went as far as to say that their leaks were protected by the first amendment"

And I'll bet a few of those employees are the ones now whining for the Democrats' "committee".

Exactly (and I've pointed that out here before but some are wedded to hating Tenet).
