Normally, this would be a reasonable argument, but we are dealing with, at best, a RINO of Specter-the-defector stripe. And as a Clintonite, more likely a Fifth Columnist who went along with all the insane Gorelick rules, and implemented the stupid destructive attacks on human intel.
We have another example where every word you just wrote could be said EQUALLY of Richard Clark. He was the 'Terror Czar' going into 9-11. EVERYthing he asked for he, in fact, got. GWB keeps him on when he could have made him a scape goat, and fired him for his flagrant incompetence, but he is kept on, but quietly demoted horizontally. He leaves, and as the story goes, 'the rest is history'. Tell all book, duplicitous 9-11 testimony tailored to be damaging, and his own staffers working for Kerry as Intel advisers.
There are major differences, some that you even mention, between the way Clarke was used in the administration and the way Tenet was. Sorry, but drawing any suspicion from Clarke's behavior that Tenet will behave in the same way is ludicrous.
