Yes, but didn't Reno take the blame pretty quick? Like just after it happened? How long has this story been alive? I'm not trying to blame Bush or the White House staff. But it seems like it did take a long time for Hadley to speak up...

The timing of the speaking up part isnt so important, IMHO.

From a perception standpoint it is. You know, they had to look around to find someone to blame...first it was Tenet, now Hadley...That's all I'm sayin'. Don't get me wrong, I'm with the President. I'm just playin' Devil's advocate.

(is your Dick Van Dyke tagline an actual reference? And was it the show with the walnuts?)
