If there is a weasel more gutless, a buffoon more incompetent, or an ingrate more shameless than failed CIA Director George Tenet, he’s being hidden in a black ops prison on Guantanamo Bay.
George Tenet, a poster child for “The Power Of Positive Brown-Nosing,” has hit a new low, even by Washington standards. Having worked his way up the political ladder by leaving no back unslapped, on the way down he’s leaving no back unstabbed.
George Tenet is the Barney Fife of the spy world. Every bad guy got away and he never took his bullet out of his pocket.

My sentiments exactly! Tenet is a disgrace. In retrospect he should have been fired in January 2001. And no Presidential Freedom Medal!
George Tenet: What a sniveling, whining, self-serving little man.
Richmond ping for Michael Graham. Excellent article skewering George Tenet.
I don’t think Mac Watson could write anything nearly as intelligent or scathing.
OMG - They are picking on George ‘Jack Baur” Tenet. /double secret sarcasm alert/
Mac Watson? Write?
