	USATODAY.com - Tenet resigns as CIA director (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		WASHINGTON CIA director George Tenet's resignation was announced by President Bush on Thursday, ending a seven-year tenure marked by criticism of the agency's failure to prevent the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and its inaccurate judgment that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
		Tenet appeared to enjoy a close relationship with the two presidents he served, Bush and Bill Clinton, but his legacy as the second-longest-serving CIA director is shrouded in controversy.
		Tenet's supporters argue that he rebuilt a depleted agency he took over in 1997, oversaw the successful use of CIA operatives in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and headed successful efforts to capture senior al-Qaeda leaders and Saddam Hussein.

	George Tenet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George John Tenet (born January 5, 1953) is Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown University and former United States Director of Central Intelligence.
		The resignation of both Tenet and CIA Deputy Director for Operations James Pavitt in June 2004 may be related to this failure to find the WMDs that the United States used to justify invasion.
		Tenet, the son of Greek immigrant parents from Northern Epirus, was raised in Little Neck, Queens, attended Public School 94, Middle School 67, and Cardozo High School (as a classmate of Ron Jeremy), and worked in his family's diner, later renamed the Scobee diner, as a busboy.

		The resignation of George Tenet, President Bush's loyal, stolid and invariably hapless CIA chief, will not be enough to appease the angry furies screeching at the Bush administration.
		Second, as much as Bush appears to have valued Tenet's courtier-like skills and ability to meet the president's demanding "comfort level" requirements (the only quality apart from blind ideological acquiescence he demands from any of his most senior officials), Tenet was not his closest enabler.

	"George Tenet chose appeasement" by Spencer Ackerman
		In particular, it excoriates the CIA under George Tenet's leadership for sacrificing the agency's independence and what Risen calls its "gravitational force"--its ability to draw policy-makers away from mistaken or dangerous ideas and towards the agency's presumably more accurate view of the world--by yielding to the relentless pressure that the administration placed on it.
		Tenet, the head of both the CIA and the entire 15-agency, $40-billion intelligence community, attempted in 2000 to solve a structural problem with a personal maneuver.
		Once Tenet supplicated himself to Bush--one of Tenet's former aides terms his old boss "a pussy"--the CIA was in no position to exert its influence on the policy toward Iraq.

	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.
