The CBS actually includes this information towards the end: "Whatever you call it, in 1999, three years after he started the bin Laden unit, Scheuer's candor got him into trouble with his supervisors at the CIA. What were the circumstances under which he left the bin Laden unit?
"I think I became too insistent that we were not pursuing this target with enough vigor and with enough risk-taking - - an unwillingness to take risks," says Scheuer. "I got relieved of the position I was in. I had a lovely sojourn in the library and then had other sojourns since."
His exile ended shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, when he was brought back to the bin Laden unit as a special adviser. But by then, everything had changed."
Without specifically noting that all ten occasions were during Clintons presidency.
Who would of thought that the proud network of Dan Rather would involve itself in such obfuscation.
Incidentally, his story is being promoted as an example of Bush driving out the "whistle-blowers" in his "purge" of the CIA. They paint a picture of brave agents working against a corrupt presidency, when what you really have is a bunch of loose-lipped bureaucrats with an inflated sense of their own importance.
