Scathing Indictment
Rowan Scarborough writes about Tenet’s House of Cards.
The bottom line from the findings of a Congressional ordered report on CIA operations pre and post Sept. 11th, 2001:
The bottom line: President Bush inherited a depleted CIA in 2001, done in by President Clinton’s deep budget cuts that savaged the clandestine service. Even Tenet, Clinton’s director and Bush holdover, acknowledged in his book that the CIA was in “Chapter 11″ by decade’s end.
Does this make anyone wonder about Able Danger?
It makes me wonder why the President kept him in that position for so long after 9/11. He had to have some idea of the man’s competence or lack thereof… didn’t he? *sigh*
