It was Tenet who first said Iraqi WMD was a slam dunk but later allowed Wilson to spread his lies, and later demanded a DOJ criminal prosecution over the WH's rebuttal of Wilson's lies. The target of that referral was Cheney.

And it was Tenet who issued a mea culpa without revealing that Wilson's report had actually lent substance to the reports about Iraq trying to acquire yellowcake from Niger.

There can be only two reasons for this: 1.) ignorance of the activities of his own organization, or 2.) a malignant intent to undermine the President's position from the very outset.

Paging Ray McGovern!!!

Notice Ray McGovern's name on the placecard in the extreme right corner; he's been cropped out.

Actually Tenet did include Wilson's earlier trip in his statement.

I'm inclined to assign incompetency to Tenet rather than malevolent motive. The Wilson gang, on the other hand...

Tenet's Statement

The same former official also said that in June 1999 a businessman approached him and insisted that the former official meet with an Iraqi delegation to discuss "expanding commercial relations" between Iraq and Niger. The former official interpreted the overture as an attempt to discuss uranium sales.

Okie, I like door number 2 - a malignant intent to undermine the President's position from the very outset.

so is that why Bush was so nice to Tenet when he went packing?
