This administration needs to own up!

911 happened on Tenet's watch!
Bush kept him!

The CIA and the misinformation provided to Bush in the SOTU address, those 11 words!
Bush still kept Tenet as head of CIA!
Come out only to defend Tenet!

More misinformation by the CIA, with Tenet at the helm contained in Kay's report!
Bush has not come out and said there will be some heads to roll. Tenet needs to go!

If he wants to save his reelection he cannot be mute on CIA and it's leader! Why does he keep him?!

I don't disagree with what you are saying, and Tenet may well have to go in the current environment.

But if you saw that showtime 9/11 movie (which was supposedly "as it happenend"), Tenet is portrayed as being the essential person who cooked up the method of attack in Afghanistan using CIA/Special Ops in small numbers on the ground. Also, the CIA did apparently do a good job paying/promising off many Iraqi generals to just back off when our forces invaded.

The internals of the CIA are likely a mess, alot of beauracratic bungling, misguided politics with people like Wilson's wife et al. What you really need is a reform minded guy like Giuliani in there.
