    My point was that the slam dunk comment, was totally misrepresented by bush apologists. Is tenet lying and twisting words? I doubt it. His own Deputy CIA director (I forget his name) went on 60 Minutes (?) last year, and also said the Bu$hCo. totally misrepresented Tenet's comment about the slam dunk.
    Who knows? Maybe he's lying maybe he's not. He's trying to cover his @$$ right now (not very effectively). Who knows if what he's saying about the admin is true. He's certainly not credible in my opinion. But what I do know is what he's saying in his defense sounds awful.

    His defense is worse than the allegation.

    Its like saying, I did not know she was 17, I thought she was 14.

    That's how I read it. Unless we're all missing something.

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Respond accordingly. What IS the immigration policy of terrorist supporting nations?

    Non sectarian governance is something that we must be vigilant to maintain in a world of Islamic militance.

    We all know tenet was complicit in selling the war. That's old news.

    The prominence of this revelation, is that when BushCo. tried to use the excuse that Tenet "made" them invade iraq, by assuring them that there was 100% proof of WMD and/or imminent threats, they were lying. They were trying to pin Bush's failed war on a scapegoat.

    to be fair, he was the head of CIA, he could have spoken up.

    Not that I think Bush&Co weren't to blame. And yes. I do agree with you assessment that Bush lied.

    I have for years.
