What Really Caused Tenet's Departure?
by Gordon Prather

If you thought the neo-crazies had lost control over President Bush, think again. A neo-crazy delegation – headed by Richard Perle – marched up to the White House last week and demanded that Bush fire Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) George Tenet.

Quoth Perle, "There is a smear campaign under way, and it is being perpetrated by the CIA and the DIA and a gaggle of former intelligence officers who have succeeded in planting these stories, which are accepted with hardly any scrutiny."

Whom did Tenet smear? Ahmad Chalabi. The neo-crazy darling who provided the disinformation – accepted with hardly any scrutiny by neo-crazy media sycophants – used to "justify" Bush's pre-emptive invasion and occupation of Iraq.
