	Letter to George Tenet \| TPMCafe
		Tenet, as head of the intelligence community, you failed to use your position of power and influence to protect the intelligence process and, more importantly, the country.
		Tenet is as culpable as Bush and Cheney when it comes to the Iraq debacle and it's subsequent carnage.
		George Tenet is one of the scums in this horrible nightmare.

		Tenet served as the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence from June 1995 until he became Director on July 11, 1997 after a unanimous confirmation vote in the United States Senate.

		The resignation of both Tenet and CIA Deputy Director James Pavitt in June 2004 is speculated by some to be directly related to this failure to find the WMDs that the United States used to justify invasion.
		Tenet's seven-year long term as CIA director was the second-longest in US history; a resignation so soon before an election, especially one in which intelligence-handling is a major issue, is also unusual.
		Tenet, the son of working-class immigrants, was raised in Queens, attended public schools, and worked in his family's deli.

		CIA officials denied that Tenet quit or was pressured to leave because of criticism of U.S. intelligence over the failed search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq or missed clues to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist plot.
		Tenet has come under fire in recent months for having assured Bush before last year's invasion of Iraq that Iraqi president Saddam Hussein harbored weapons of mass destruction, a key justification for the decision to go to war.
		CIA Director George J. Tenet (L) is embraced by Deputy Director John McLaughlin.

	CIA Director George J. Tenet warns of al Qaeda's spectacular attack plans against the United States...
		CIA Director George J. Tenet warned Congress yesterday that the threat of al Qaeda terrorists acquiring weapons of mass destruction is growing and the group continues planning "spectacular attacks" against the United States and its allies.
		Tenet noted that captured al Qaeda members have said the United States remains the group's "main enemy," and al Qaeda's effort to produce deadly anthrax bacteria is "one of the most immediate" terrorist threats.
		Tenet said the relationship between Saddam and al Qaeda included "contacts, training and safe haven," as well as help for al Qaeda collaborator Abu Musaab Zarqawi, his role in the assassination of a U.S. diplomat in Jordan and operations in Baghdad.

	In Valedictory, Tenet Defends CIA From Past, Present Critics (washingtonpost.com)
		Tenet said last month that he is resigning for personal reasons, but the timing is broadly seen as related to the intelligence debacle in Iraq and the campaign season debate about whether the Bush administration exaggerated the case that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction.
		Although a Tenet successor is not expected to be named today, the White House continues to indicate it may propose a replacement in the next few days, which would give the Senate less than two weeks to act before Congress goes into recess.
		Porter J. Goss (R-Fla.), a former CIA case officer and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, was an early favorite, but Democrats objected to him.

		Tenet's fervor does not “reach the level in the field that is critical so [FBI agents] know what their priorities are.” In addition, even as the counterterrorism budget continues to grow generally, there is no massive shift in budget or personnel until after 9/11.
		Tenet later maintains that there was no reason to alert President Bush or to share information about Moussaoui during an early September 2001 Cabinet-level meeting on terrorism, saying, “All I can tell you is, it wasn't the appropriate place.
		Tenet then turns to a top secret document called the “Worldwide Attack Matrix,” which describes covert operations in 80 countries that are either underway or now recommended.

	The Federalist Patriot - Tenet Testimony
		TENET: I believe that the context of the information -- and again, I've got to go back and review all of this carefully -- the context of this information is that it came to us from one of our domestic field stations who was asked to provide some assistance in dealing with this FISA request.
		TENET: I'd have to leave it to the director this afternoon to clarify whether the number is correct or incorrect.
		TENET: You can -- you can -- again, as I came back, you can restructure the way I'm structured, but I would not take that kind of line authority from a person that has a direct report to the president, who also has a chain of command to the people that are executing these operations.

		George Tenet talks Thursday with members of the CIA staff at the agency's headquarters about his resignation.
		Tenet has faced sharp criticism over the September 11 terror attacks and the war in Iraq, where pre-invasion U.S. estimates that Iraq was amassing stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction now appear to have been incorrect.
		Tenet took responsibility for a later-discredited line in Bush's 2003 State of the Union address that alleged that Iraq was trying to buy uranium from Africa, saying the CIA had seen and approved the speech before it was delivered, and he took responsibility for the mistake.

	Washington Speakers Bureau: George Tenet
		When George Tenet took over as head of the CIA, he inherited an organization in crisis: still reeling from budget cuts, low morale and a lack of purpose after the Cold War ended, the CIA needed to be revitalized – and Tenet was there to provide the leadership.
		By the end of his tenure Tenet had led the CIA through one of the most crisis-filled periods in recent history, where it was simultaneously and successfully engaging in three different missions (the domestic War on Terror, as well as conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan) and performing at optimum levels.
		Tenet puts a human face on the spy business, reminding audiences that success – in any organization – means understanding how to lead and motivate people no matter what the logistical circumstances.

	Mr. Tenet's Exit
		GEORGE J. TENET, who will be remembered in part for his skill in the tradecraft of Washington, made a relatively artful departure yesterday from the position of CIA director.
		Tenet has faced mounting demands that he accept accountability for the agency's failures in assessing the threat of al Qaeda before Sept. 11, 2001, and in estimating Iraq's capacity in weapons of mass destruction.
		Calls for his resignation seemed sure to escalate in the coming weeks, with the release of reports by the Sept. 11 commission and the Senate intelligence committee that are expected to be highly critical.

		Tenet takes blame for the flawed 2002 National Intelligence Estimate about Iraq’s weapons programs, calling the episode “one of the lowest moments of my seven-year tenure.” He expresses regret that the document was not more nuanced, but says there was no doubt in his mind at the time that Saddam Hussein possessed unconventional weapons.
		Tenet a Presidential Medal of Freedom, is portrayed personally in a largely positive light, with particular praise for the his leadership after the 2001 attacks.
		He describes in particular the extraordinary tension between him and Condoleezza Rice, then national security adviser, and her deputy, Stephen J. Hadley, in internal debate over how the president came to say erroneously in his 2003 State of the Union address that Iraq was seeking uranium in Africa.

		But the panel's staff director, Eleanor Hill, said yesterday that Tenet's fervor did not "reach the level in the field that is critical so [FBI agents] know what their priorities are." Some FBI agents interviewed, in fact, "were not focused on al Qaeda," she said.

		Instead, Tenet is blaming the Bush administration for all kinds of intelligence failures.
		In the end, while there is plenty of blame to go around, the tragic events of 9/11 and even the war in Iraq were predicated on the best intelligence, or lack of intelligence we had at the time.
