Of course you don't. Wait until you are a manager of a team of people, tejek. I have a pretty well managed team, if I don't say so myself. I also have a couple of superstars on my team who I trust. But every now and then, they'll tell me versions of the truth on an issue that doesn't pass muster. Sometimes I catch it, sometimes I don't. MOST of the time, I have to rely on what my team tells me, because I simply don't have time to double check every minor detail of their work. Now since my team is really good, they make me look good. But when they screw up and I report on bad data, guess who looks bad? Me. That's the life of a manager. Powell and Bush are managers. I think Bush in particular is a very crappy manager, but I actually have quite a bit of respect for Powell. Powell is a man of integrity. He wouldn't lie just because his superior told him to. If Powell reported on something, then it was because he believed it to be true. Tenet on the other hand, smells like a rat and I believe he is one. He floats with the wind and I bet he had quite a bit to do with the questionable intelligence passed upwards. He's more of a politico than what we need in our Director of Intelligence. Anyway, believe what you want.
