Comments on: On George Tenet and the blame for 9/11 http://www.yourish.com/2007/04/30/3070 Cutting straight to the point Tue, 16 Mar 2010 20:03:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: David Charlap http://www.yourish.com/2007/04/30/3070/comment-page-1#comment-25981 David Charlap Mon, 30 Apr 2007 23:55:58 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/2007/04/30/3070#comment-25981 According to caller on the radio this morning (a former CIA employee who knew Tennet), Tennet is one of those polititians who tells everybody what they want to hear, even when everything he says contradicts everything else. In other words, he fast-talked himself into getting his job, and then into keeping it after years of proven incompetence. Sort of like everybody else in Washington.

It shows Clinton to be an appeaser and Bush as incompetant. This book uses reliable sources like WSJ and Reuters. The whole narrative of 9/11 is misconstructed. Both the Pakistanis and the Saudis were surely involved. Show a little courage and read this book.

Al Quada operated and plotted inside the US and outside the US for years before 9/11. the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) investigated them, too. The US doesn't have more than 30 agencies out there collecting intelligence just so everyone can blame everyone else when something goes wrong. But of course I'm wrong and, clearly, that's exactly what all the redundancy is for.

The only explanation for Tenet not being fired immediately after 9/11 is the same explanation for why J. Edgar Hoover stayed on at FBI way, way too long. These two Martin Borman types knew too much and people were afraid of them. I'll give it to the bastard, he's a great actor and going to sell some books. Otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, he can rot in hell.

There was information that was possibly available to thwart 9/11. I just wonder if it was the CIA's job to do so or the FBI's? Also did Bush force Tenet out? He did give him a medal of honor didn't he? Of course Tenet realizes by now that the way to riches is to write a tell all book bashing Bush. In the 80's it was greenmail. In the 90's it was the tech bubble. Now it's Bush bashing. (Although one news report said that he was critical of Cheney not Bush.) Read this.
