. . . .but this was supposed to have been a CIA operation.

That's not clear. And here it gets genuinely murky. My understanding, at the moment, is that Cheney's office asked Tenet to check it out. Since Wilson's wife was CIA, my guess he was, at least, socially a part of the larger community. And they decided he was almost precisely the right guy. So far as I can tell, it did not require any special CIA skills, whatever that might be.
