Tenet

Well, George Tenet's book is out. Or maybe I should say, George Tenet's rehab project is underway.

George "wheat in the wind" Tenet is using his book and tour to prove that he wasn't the slam dunk cheerleader we all think he is. I'm afraid I don't buy it. Tenet's basic personality is to get along and kiss butt. He can now spin the events to make himself not look like such a dolt, but I'm afraid it doesn't pass the smell test. Sure, Bushies probably ate him for lunch. But he jumped into the cooking pot (see: Powell, Colin).

Look for the punditry and media to be carrying a bunch of quotes from the book over the next week or so. And keep your skeptic hat on.
