Tenet doesn't look like an incompetent fool. He is doing an admirable job of passionately responding to the questions designed to trip him up.

Ever since the Wilson/Plame affair came to light I have become a huge fan of George Tenet.

In that and other areas he has been a forceful presence on behalf of this administration.

Good grief! What did Bob Kerrey have in his coffee this morning. YELLING about the new plan and how it's nothing and the applause from the gallery egging him on.

He DOES not think the one clinton strike was a "pin prick".

Well, I guess he had a little chat with somebody last night.

Look, Tenet has been around for lots of years. But based on his performance today, he's a lightweight.

When questions got difficult he would pull the emotional tricks (loud voice, thumping the desk, referring to lost friends in 9-11 etc) out of his bag. This stuff may fool some but not me.

How a man as limited in intellectual stature as he seems to be has stayed in this position for so long is beyond me. There must be another angle.
