Earth to CIA October 3, 2001 Helle Bering Where was the CIA? That is one of the many questions that have kept nagging at yours truly since terrorists hit the United States on Sept. 11. We had many warnings that terrorists were taking aim at Americans, particularly the Osama bin Laden gang of thugs. There was the New York World Trade Center bombing of 1993. There were the two attacks on U.S. embassies in Africa — which elicited a particularly lame response from Bill Clinton, who was then in the throes of the Monica Lewinsky affair. There was the attack on the USS Cole in Yemen. Why in the world was the agency, whose job is to detect and nab the bad guys before they get to us, not more vigilant and better prepared? And, for the life of me, I cannot understand why President Bush continues to affirm his unwavering support for the man who is running this sorry outfit — Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet. Wouldn't most of us tend to waver just a bit in the face of such devastating failure? Somehow Mr. Tenet seems to have protected status. Why? Who protects him? And what other failures can we expect to pay dearly for in the future? In any other democracy, Mr. Tenet would have handed in a lengthy and tortured letter of resignation long ago.
