A difficult place this time is for George Tenent.

At least he goes out with the praise of his President,
Former CIA Director James Woolsey got burned down by Emperor Clintonius...State Dept and Pentagon going for James's throat,
Congress...pissed at the monies spent on The Iraqi Bay of Pigs fiasco...the talking hand puppet known as Ahmed Chalabi.

In some ways..Tenets misfortune mirrors Woolsey's.
How do yo turn off a thing going south.
How do you save your honor..when others have decieved you..and you are connected to them.....even on the periphery.

So many debacles from Emperor Clintonius's time....damage still running into the Bush Admin.

Congress headed off a huge fiasco concerning the Chinese Ballistic Missile threat...*The Rumsfeld report.
CIA asleep at the wheel again...
Hansen,Ames...Global Crossing,Fibre optics grid,compromised intel..monies to account for,
then the second level damage...American firms selling technology to China.

Chalabi again...more damage.

Could the main problem be the bookends stance of State Dept and Pentagon?
Is any CIA director doomed by this reality?

Tenet: "It was for the well-being of my family...nothing more and nothing less"......Reported by Molly Heindenburg (FOX)

Yeah, and he reads Playboy for the intellectual articles, too.

No, that's not the dorkiest picture of him, you need to see the picture from Drudge yesterday, of him sucking on a straw. Someone posted it in a 'caption le-kerry' thread yesterday also.

Or perhaps President Bush is going to do the suing? The first thing everyone assumes when hearing someone has hired an attorney is that it is a defensive position; however, it could be quite the opposite.

One angle someone mentioned to me was that as Wilson, Clark wrote books they may have opened themselves up for a few court hours (after President Bush finishes his second term, of course!)

I don't think President Bush would be doing any suing. But I do think Plame may be getting fired and charges *might* be filed against her and her spouse. The filing of charges may be wishful thinking, but it would be reasonable to expect a wrongful termination suit when she is let go.

You know they would cry "retaliation", when in fact it is they who have been sticking the knife in this country's back. So that's what I think it is.

Their business cards say, "I'm urbane and sophisticated, unlike most Americans."
"Sophisticated" has the same Greek root "soph" as does the word "philosophy" - and also the word "sophistry." The Greeks found that the person who claimed to be wise - the "sophist" - was wise in their own conceit but was merely tendentious in reality. Accordingly the Greeks who seriously sought wisdom adopted the more modest title, "lover of wisdom" - "philo" "sopher."

Boil it all down, and liberalism is simply the superficial, negative, and unrepresentative claiming to be wise (they call it "objective"). They do this either openly or - by criticizing the openly conservative commentator as "not objective" - indirectly. Either way, it is a mere propaganda technique.

Tenet was responsible for an agency that had to sift through millions of dossiers of islamic lies, bull, disinformation and treachery.

He also had to rely on muslims to do this for him.

Till we replace our islamic majority cadres with non regional non muslims, our intelligence service would never be able to perform, regardless of who chairs it.

how can you expect results when you employ a faction of your enemy to work for you.

it is made more difficult by the fact that our interests are served by undoing islamic countries, religion and and people. It is a mistake on our part to expect muslims to undo their countries and religion for us.

we need to replace the muslims with non muslims, only retaining muslims where absolutely necessary.

Tenet is a great man. He has always put his country before his personal interests.

he has tried perform miracles for america, while working with an army of islamists

give the guy his due.

he's refined, humane, selfless, intelligent and above all a patriot.

i can't think of a finer person than him.

it would be a terrible loss to the agency in my opinion.

These days, where puppets are the rule

it's hard to find people, who'd stand up for their conscience, put their country before their personal interests, and take the fall for justice

Tenet is a rare kind these days. The very noblest of men.
