Tenet's Tell-All Is a Slam Dunk to Provoke Invasion's Architects

[cal04]

The drums have begun sounding for the long-awaited book by former CIA director George Tenet, in which he gives his take on pre-9/11 days and on Saddam's huge cache of weapons of mass destruction.

And the drums are saying that Tenet is not going to get too many Christmas cards from Vice President Cheney's office after they read "At the Center of the Storm." Folks from down the river at the Pentagon, including former deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz-- a guy who's already going through a rough patch -- and former defense undersecretary Douglas Feith, might also get some heartburn.

Former secretary of state Colin Powell comes out fine. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who was President Bush's key adviser in engineering the Iraq invasion, doesn't come out so fine. Not fine at all.

The White House definitely won't be overjoyed, we're hearing. Tenet even takes some shots at himself and for the first time explains his astute assurance that "it's a slam-dunk case" when Bush asked him how solid the WMD evidence was.

1. Well I'll be watching 60 Minutes on 4/29 for sure!

At the end of the article it states Tenet will be interviewed on 60 Minutes on 4/29...the day before the release of his book on the 30th.

Surely he will be hated by the WH, and after that Medal of Freedom and all. What an ingrate! HA HA HA

5. Which only goes to prove, you can bribe some of the people some of the

time, but it never lasts forever.

I guess there was an expiration date on the goodwill that came with that medal.

4. Still, he could have had an impact on changing the course of action.

His royalties should go elsewhere than into his pockets.

6. Hmmmmm

I wonder what his take on the Plame outing will be?
