George Tenet - liar, liar pants on fire MACSMIND BLOG Did anyone catch this Tenet on 60 Minutes tonight? If so, how did you remove the stains from the TV screen after you spit your coffee out. Sheesh, where was this guy at in the days before and after 9/11, on Bizzaro? Today different versions of history than I remember that's for sure, and I'm not the only one. Bill Kristol thumbing through Tenent's book found more than a few fabrications: "THE WEEKLY STANDARD has now learned of a second, more stunning error in Tenet's book (which is due to appear in bookstores tomorrow). According to Michiko Kakutani's review in Saturday's Times, On the day after 9/11, he [Tenet] adds, he ran into Richard Perle, a leading neoconservative and the head of the Defense Policy Board, coming out of the White House. He says Mr. Perle turned to him and said: "Iraq has to pay a price for what happened yesterday. They bear responsibility." Here's the problem: Richard Perle was in France on that day, unable to fly back after September 11. In fact Perle did not return to the United State until September 15. Did Tenet perhaps merely get the date of this encounter wrong? Well, the quote Tenet ascribes to Perle hinges on the encounter taking place September 12: "Iraq has to pay a price for what happened yesterday." And Perle in any case categorically denies to THE WEEKLY STANDARD ever having said any such thing to Tenet, while coming out of the White House or anywhere else." Where have we seen this sort of history re-write before? macsmind.com
