Of course, Clinton was actively isolated from intelligence, no question.

Indeed, Clinton never met privately at all with his first CIA Director James Woolsey after the initial job interview. When a plane crashed on the White House lawn in 1994, the joke in Washington was that it was Woolsey trying to get an appointment.

But I won’t buy Tenet saying that he didn’t provide information in daily briefings. If he was holding back information that was either collosal incompetence or willful negligence and in either case led to the deaths of Americans.

Any man who can sit behind a desk receiving oral sex, while discussing serious national business on the telephone is not a good leader nor much of a man. Just my opinion.

And yes, I should have remembered Clinton not seeing the CIA Director. Great addition. Thanks for the reminder. This shows the validity of what Tenet said, as to the plausibility concerning his relationship with Clinton, and could have been similar with President Bush.
