Breaking News: Director of CIA, George Tenet, Resigns
Just saw it on CNN. Who is next?
ETA: Can't wait for his book to come out. |
He probably should have been gone a long time ago.
I can't really blame him though. A lot of crap going his way. He'll do much better for himself and his family in the civilian sector. |
here is a link about it
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,121665,00.html I wonder if it really is personal a reason or because of all the 9/11 critics and investigation. Probably both but probably Tenet and Bush truely will ever know. |
I don't see a reason for him to leave other than politics but whatever. He's another guy from Queens and I'm sorry to see him go.

Might be the pressure he's under after 9/11, alleged CIA officers involved in the Iraq prison situation, alleged bad info regarding WMD's, failure to get Osama and a lot of other stuff.
Or, maybe he's the one who has been chosen to fall on his sword for some or all of the above. That would be enough to make me look at career changes. |
Senator Charles Schumer, Democrat of New York, called Mr. Tenet "an honorable and decent man who has served his country well in difficult times, and no one should make him a fall guy for anything."
He also received a bit of anger from Republicans. Regardless, he was appointed by Bill Clinton and became a close friend of President Bush. When he left, Tenet endorsed President Bush. -Rudey |
