Tenet will testify in the House on pre-war intel June 19

[Adelante]

Henry Waxman (D-CA), chairman of the House oversight committee, announced today that former CIA Director George Tenet has agreed to testify before his committee. The topic: the White House's hyping of false intelligence in the run-up to the war, specifically Iraq's alleged efforts to procure uranium from Niger.

June 19th's the date. And to make things even more interesting, Waxman has also scheduled Condoleezza Rice to appear at the same hearing. Waxman's committee has already issued a subpoena for Rice's testimony, a subpoena that Rice has signalled she will ignore. Waxman "continues to expect that she will comply with the congressional subpoena," notes the committee's press release. Rice had been scheduled to testify tomorrow.

4. I'll watch, but Tenet's

not going to incriminate himself. I really don't know what to expect, but I'm hoping that Waxman can shake him up a little bit.

5. I could be way off base, Sea

But I've been thinking how incredibly let down the entire CIA culture was by what he did. If nothing else, he may want to redeem himself in their eyes.
