Reply #2: Great--confirms that Tenet's "confession" was an indictment [View All]

[DrBB]

Didn't listen this a.m., but the press--even the enfeebled NPR--are picking up on the fact that between the lines of Tenet's vague and passive-voiced and obfuscatory so-called mea culpa was a confirmation of the Kristof/Gjelten story that the WH was pressuring the CIA to approve something both parties knew to be bullshit. Or as TPM put it,

Read Tenet's 'mea culpa' (self-criticism session?) closely and you'll see it points right back at Condi Rice's NSC.

As I've been saying since Friday. Condi first blamed Tenet to the press from AF-1, then Karl said "You better call him and make him back your play or we're all in shit," and so Condi put the screws--she thought--to Tenet. And Tenet complied in a way that can put a stiletto right in her and the *admin's backs, if anyone cares to pick it up and use it.
