The intelligence used by Dubya, Powell, and Rumsfeld was collected, almost exclusively, by Clinton appointees. That's the way the Civil Service works. The current administration appoints the very upper echelons (GS schedule 15 and above) but the rank-and-file (GS 14 and below) are Civil Service. Not political appointees.

George Tenet, current head of the CIA, is a holdover from the Clinton administration.
