Tenet Redacted

I didn’t mean to make it seem like George Tenet is the greatest thing since sliced bread; he’s actually a pretty greasy weasel who is only fessing up now – way, way after the fact, not to mention after a nice little payday for his book. Richard Clarke, former chief counter-terrorism adviser on the U.S. National Security Council, at least had the decency to come right out with the very same assertions during the 9/11 Commission hearings Mr. Tenet is only now revealing. Oh yes, and what did the administration (Condoleeza Rice, in particular) do after Mr. Clarke’s testimony? You guessed it! Attempted to discredit him at all costs.

There is a picture of Dr. Rice being interviewed on CBS’s Face the Nation on page A6 of the NY Times today and she has this preposterous look on her face that says: “The fact that anyone would accuse this administration of wrongdoing is simply unconscionable!”
