"I agree. Bring Woolsey back. And I'd like to see Guiliani at Justice to replace Ashcroft."
If you want to bring a previous director back, how about Daddy Bush? (let's get the tinfoil hats at DU going)
Tenet is on giving a speech NOW!!
Tape airing of Tenet's comments to CIA employees.
McLaughlin introducing. (He will be acting Director when Tenet steps down July 11).
McLaughlin chokes up in introduction. Idiot Martha on Fox should shut up.
Tenet up:
Thunderous and sustained applause---very sustained.
Very very sustained applause.
For past nine years part of a great family. The CIA family. Success and disappointment, joy and sorrow.
Today I give you the news I gave the president last night. I will step down as director on July 11, the anniversary when I was sworn in.
Never a good time to leave.
Special thanks to President Bush. Upon taking office he immediately recognized need to build up intelligence community. He cares about the employees here. Takes it seriously. Met with him daily.
