Tenet to spill the beans on 9/11?

Amid the outrage over the government's non-response to the Gulf coast comes a story of more trouble looming for the administration.

. . .the still-confidential June 2004 CIA Inspector General’s report on the 9/11 intelligence failures pins the blame for 9/11 on Tenet and other senior officials for not having a strategy to deal with Al Qaeda. Tenet has provided a point-by-point rebuttal to the IG’s report, both of which are still confidential, yet the report has now been released to Congress this week, and it still blames Tenet and these results have been selectively leaked by Bush’s GOP supporters as a preemptive move to set the frame that the White House was victimized by bad Agency work. As a result of this smear job on Tenet, he has decided to break the agreement he had with the White House and will defend himself, and will throw the ball back into Bush’s lap.

Hopefully that's exactly what he'll do. This administration has been getting away with criminal acts since they took over, and they richly deserve to be remembered as a blight on the nation.
