I just googled dozens of stories in which the CIA is covering their Butt!

And now at the very end Tenet attempts to fall on his sword. Here's a couple of great pieces showing that the CIA certainly raised objections!

BTW: I'm sure my fellow DU'ers can come up with plenty more!

1. after reading tennants "admission" it damns someone else

let me paraphrase
tennent: "take out the uranium refrence its false"
cheney? or condi or rummi: "if we say the brits say it we can keep it in and what we say is technically correct"
tennent: "ok"

tennent admits he should not have said "ok"

who was so hot to put iy in shrubbies speech?

it looks to me like tennant's taking the blame just opens up a whole new can of real ugly stuff.

2. here's another one...

...from USA Today, 6/13

Don't you love how it's always an unidentified "senior intelligence official" who is quoted? What we need now is for one of these officials to come out of the darkness and speak up!
