I question whether the Pres would have sat in the oval office w Goss and said "he led ably", etc. and Goss said something like 'thank you for the trust you placed in me' if he had actually had been fired. I don't recall an oval office event like that happening when Paul O'Neill (former Sect'y of Treas) was asked to step down I dont know. He gave the previous occupant of the CIA leadership, Tenant, the highest medal awarded to civilians in this country and that was after 911 and the faulty intelligence on WMD.

Could this behavior not be a variation on the corporate way of getting rid of people? They promote them into a job where they can't do anymore damage. President Bush flatters them to a point where they then will look really classless and ungrateful if then they go out and talk bad about the President. Just a thought.

That is true. It seems the Prez put a lot of faith and trust in Tenet - perhaps more than he should have and/or for as long as he should have.
