The CIA Strikes Back

CIA Boss: Iraq Not Called Imminent Threat

I guess George Tenet is not going along with the "bad intelligence" line on Iraqi WMD's. You can't blame him either. As much as the intelligence community misjudged Iraq's WMD capacities, the hawks in the administration are really to blame for all of this. The Neoconservatives have long accused the CIA of underestimating the threat posed by Iraq and it must be infuriating for Tenet and his underlings to hear these same people blaming intelligence professionals for all of this.
