the george tenet show.

okay. so now they've thrown tenet to the wolves and i'm assuming they're really hoping this one sticks.
i hope the press and public won't be as gullible as we've seen them act since the ceo took office. please.

this is a whole bit of a mess and i hope we won't get sidetracked.
it does feel like the administration got sideswipped by this one, though (it has been 4 months since bush's speech to the american people in which he mentioned the (fake) niger document). so i do believe they didn't see this one coming. and since it is a big one - one that the press seems to have decided not to ignore this time - that it should ride a little bit longer than rover and rumsfeld would like to. and this on top of the now-burgeoning democrat hopefuls.

while george w bush is busy playing the role of the village idiot no one tells anything to, colin powell had this to say [ cbs.com ] : “i didn’t use the uranium at that point because i didn’t think that was sufficiently strong as evidence to present before the world,” powell said.

sweet, uh?
the information was not good enough for the world but good enough for the american people.
i'd be quite pissed right now if i were american.

and can anyone bring solid evidence of powell's (alleged) resistance over the use of the info before his big u.n. speech?
