Said he had just got back from Chicago and they really didn't understand the story. That he needed to write more about it and be clearer. Tenet is the meat in the sandwich, but not necessarily for the reasons suggested by Priest and Pincus. I think Tenet is under tremendous pressure to protect his agents from further politically-motivated revelations. He is also obviously under a lot of pressure because of the patent intelligence failures during his stewardship of the CIA. There is a bit of irony in the CIA agents' push for protection, which I'm completely convinced is driving the scandal to some degree. The CIA is an increasingly technological organization, criticized for its failure to have human resources in the field gathering intelligence. Despite this apparent weakness concerning human sources, the CIA is up in arms about the revelation of one who is apparently for the most part a desk-bound denizen of DC.
