To me, the fact that George Tenet was allowed to remain in the CIA well after 9/11 is justification enough.

I think it would have been insane to dump Tenent after 9/11. Personally.


But I wasn't happy with the way the CIA was used to drum up the WMD story before we went into Iraq. N


But the CIA's intelligence -- though ultimately a failure -- was supported by intelligence agencies all over the world. It is hard to fault CIA for being wrong when EVERYONE was wrong.

The CIA has done a pretty good job when it has been given resources. But it can't relied on 100%. That's the nature of the business.
