Tenet deserved to be held accountable for the shortcomings and failures we've since discovered in the intelligence agency he oversaw and the estimates he sanctioned and backed.

 A "Liberal With Sanity"
Monday morning, at the opening session of the GOP convention, Republican delegates met a contemporary Scoop Jackson Democrat: former New York City mayor Ed Koch.
But in a New York television interview broadcast on August 22, the ex-mayor insisted, in Scoop Jackson-esque fashion, that he was a "liberal with sanity." He supports the Bush administration's foreign policy wholeheartedly--not just on the war, but also on the International Criminal Court, the Kyoto Protocol, and the (now-defunct) Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
According to state Rep. Adam Hasner, Bush's Jewish outreach chairman in Florida, Koch will be speaking in predominantly Jewish communities on the third anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
