ChasingBlueSky 0 #1 May 1, 2007 I've been reading bits of his book since they were released yesterday. Meanwhile he has been on many news programs talking about how rough he had it back then, how he wanted to resign but couldn't. How is it that he now has the courage to speak out only when he is going to make money from it? What happen to his sense of duty four years ago? After looking around, I finally found one of the blogs talking about it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/why-didnt-george-tenet-j_b_47226.html_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

He did just what they wanted him to do, and he's got a medal to prove it. I wonder where he keeps that little trinket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure about what he is able to talk about now, but I think was probably prohibited from going public while he working for the CIA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Books such as his are vetted by the agency, which all employees agree to when taking the job. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

It was claimed years before Bush got into office or was even running for office the SH has and was building WMD. I can bring back all the quotes if you likeThe point is however, if you claim a lie with Bush you must claim the same lie years prior to him.

It was this term that our President addressed the nation saying they had "Slam Dunk" evidence against SH. This is what Tenet addresses in his own book, and from my understanding the majority of the book is about the Bush years._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
