Could be interesting: Tenet signs book deal

Former CIA Director Tenet Agrees to Book Deal With Crown Publishing

NEW YORK (AP) - Former CIA Director George Tenet has agreed to terms with the Crown Publishing Group to write his memoirs, ending an extensive bidding war that involved more than a dozen publishers.
Financial terms were not disclosed Monday, but Tenet's deal is widely believed to be worth at least seven figures.

Tenet, a holdover from the Clinton administration whose service under President Bush was marked by the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the disputed intelligence behind the U.S.-led war against Iraq, will "candidly discuss what it was like working for two administrations, two political parties, and two very different national security teams," according to a statement issued Monday by Crown, a division of Random House, Inc.

Books by former CIA officials have to be cleared by the agency, but Tenet's former spokesman at the CIA, Bill Harlow, said he was "confident that the director will be able to be candid, without running into any difficulties with the clearance process."

It should come out at the end of 2005 or early 2006. It might make for one interesting read.

was he aware that Mahmoud was passing money along to Mohammed Atta?

2. Big fucking deal
Doesn't matter what he says or what horrible revelations he makes about Bush because it won't make a damn bit of difference. The scumbag in chief will just weasel his way out if it and lie his ass off the way he has his entire life.

This book should have come out six months ago.
