The analysis of this situation is simple: The neocons had ulterior motives in pushing for the invasion of Iraq. They slanted all of the intelligence data that made its way to Bush in order to get him to come to the desired conclusion. Now that the spotlight is on the neocons and their distortions, they are trying to cover their tracks by having Tenet and the CIA fall on their swords and take the blame.
As to what they have offered Tenet (or threatened him with), I have no idea...that is one of those back-door sleazy things that we peasants never actually find out.

So it's all the fault of Perle, Wolfowitz, and Kristol. ...correct? What enormous power they must wield! (Just like their banking friends).
