	Tenet to Resign » Outside The Beltway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Tenet has been at the center of controversy over the government's response to terror threats and the intelligence on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
		Tenet had been under fire for months in connection with intelligence failures related to the U.S.-led war against Iraq (news - web sites), specifically assertions the United States made about Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s purported possession of weapons of mass destruction, and with respect to the threat from the al-Qaida terrorist network.

		Tenet's address included a strong defense of the CIA's human intelligence efforts, saying information from American and allied spies had led to the capture of three key al Qaeda figures -- including suspected 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed -- and the exposure of the network spreading Pakistani nuclear weapons technology to other countries.
		Tenet said Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan's transfer of nuclear technology "was shaving years" off the time some countries needed to develop nuclear weapons.

	Informer Without Results - The soft-headed wars of Bush and Tenet. By William Saletan
		In January 2003, Tenet failed to read—and Bush failed to provide him with—the final draft of the State of the Union address, in which Bush embraced reports, found spurious by a CIA investigator a year earlier, that Iraq had sought uranium in Niger.
		By giving that as reason, Tenet is saying one thing and one thing only: that he does not intend to cast blame for events that occurred during his tenure, but that he does not intend to accept it.
		The resignation of Tenet is, ultimately, anticlimactic and one can't help being left with the odd perception that the resignations should (and may) go higher up the line, and that perhaps the wrong George resigned.

	Tenet: CIA five years away from terror readiness - U.S. Security - MSNBC.com
		Tenet, who has held his job for seven years across parts of two administrations of different parties, said he would welcome a reorganization, although he asked the commission to recognize and incorporate changes instituted since the Sept. 11 attacks in the restructuring recommendations it was expected to issue.
		Tenet also faulted the web of agencies and offices that were working on various aspects of the al-Qaida issue, saying there was neither regular communication nor a clear chain of command.
		More surprising was the gentle treatment extended to Tenet, whose appearance underscored his reputation as a Capitol Hill survivor who has, for the most part, been unscathed by criticism of the failures of the agency he headed for four years before Sept. 11, 2001.

		But (not surprisingly) Tenet and the CIA were and remain much better at covert operations and planning ahead than the Bush administration ever was.
		Tenet and Pavitt actually prepared and left a clear, irrefutable and incriminating paper trail which not only proves that they had shunned and refused to endorse the documents, the CIA also did not support the nuke charges and warned Bush not to use them.
