This has crossed my mind on a number of occasions. Clarke and Tenet, the two men who should have provided a smooth transition on the counterterrorism front and everything from 9-11 to Iraq can be boiled down to intelligence failures.

Problem is that on a gut-level I think Tenet was a stand up guy. He may either be the best actor in history or the job may have been too much for him. Clarke on the other hand is a puke.

O'Leary
Cohen
Christopher
William Perry

for starters.

I don't remember anybody resigning over wrongdoing, excet O'Leary, and she didn't even admit that.

I never thought he would. He strikes me as a good man.

That would be a major outing of CIA employees. Valerie Plame issues you know. Maybe they are all wearing sunglasses.

No, if he were going to work for Kerry he wouldn't have just provided several pro-Bush soundbites.

CIA Tape replay

" Am I a sucker? I'm watching video of Tenet making his speech to the CIA, and I believe his sincerity.

"There is never a good time to leave".
"There will always be critical work to be done".
"Bush has shown great care for our officers".
""Proud of leadership team we have assembled".
"There is much to be proud of".
"We are recruiting the finest men and women in the highest number".

Quite an amazing speech!

"A struggle of battles won, and tragically, battles lost."

I don't think Tenet ever got the full picture of what was coming. Don't forget Gorelick put up a wall that hampered many investigations. It wasn't until after 9/11 that we have been able to connect the dots.

Ya' know, I'm watching it too. And listening. AND maybe I am a sucker, but the man sounds sincere. It's for personal reasons. He's eloquent, funny, relaxed, and seemingly in good spirits. Perhaps it IS what it seems.

I always liked Tenet too, despite the beatings he has taken on FR by those who dislike him.

Tenet is a good guy; he's been a trooper.

I don't think you're a sucker at all; I would have to be, too. Sometimes things are what they are.
