If Jon Stewart is reading this

Dear Jon;

Since you are interviewing George Tenent tonight, could you please ask him his view of the Valerie Plame outing?

I've listened to many of the other interviews of Mr. Tenent regarding his book. Several have asked him about the "16 words" and your role in that incident, but none have ever asked your view on the result of those words, i.e. the outing of this CIA officer.

It would be fascinating to hear what he has to say.

Thanks,

A concerned viewer.

1. I'll kick for that Q. I am curious too.

2. I'd like to know why he didn't resign at that point.

You're the CIA director and the man you answer to is involved in outing one of your agents. Why wouldn't you resign after something like that.

3. Terry Gross did ask him on Fresh Air

...and he basically changed the subject to say that Wilson was fair game, but never really addressed the question.

4. A very valid question, Tenet always talks in a reality where torture and the Plame incident ...

... doesn't exist.

5. "George Tenet on '60 Minutes' Calls Outing of Plame 'Big Time Wrong'

NEW YORK In his much publicized "60 Minutes" interview tonight, tied to his new book, former CIA director George Tenet flatly called the outing of one of his employees, Valerie Plame, "big time wrong."

"She's one of my officers," Tenet said. "That's wrong. Big time wrong, you don't get to do that. And the chilling effect that you have inside my work force is, 'Whoa, now officers names are being thrown out the door. Hold it. Not right.'"

Asked how much damage that did, Tenet said: "That's not the point. Just because there's a Washington bloodletting game going on here and just because her husband's out there saying what he's saying. The country's intelligence officers are not fair game. Period. That's all you need to know."

"They didn't seem to know that in the White House," Scott Pelley of "60 Minutes" observed.

"I'm done with it. I've just told you what I think," Tenet said.
