I don't know, Bish. I kind of get the sense, and this is pure conjecture, that the problems we've been having with our intelligence community stem from everyone worrying so much about their prerogatives that they lost sight of the goal. No one wants to share information with another agency or even within their own agency. I also think it's been going on since before the cold war ended. Kind of a childish game of bureaucratic one-upmanship.
 
It was during or immediately following the Nixon years that the FBI & the CIA could no longer work together, by statute. Add to that, the 9/11 Commissions connection to the intelligence community Jamie Gorelick and her memo & we have a beauracratic clusterfuck. Top it off with the Clinton administration (yess chcr, even he was involved)orders to not "associate with thugs" & we have 9/11.

Tenet, a life long beauracrat with zero CIA operative history, is the head of that dragon. Any other President would have canned his ass on 9/12. Bush liked him. Whatever the cause for his current seperation is between them. I'm glad he's gone & I hope we get somebody that knows intel & doesn't give a fuck for political procedure.
 
I'd say with The pres's past with George SR. , he is probably one
of the better people that should know what the definition of a good
director should be. I trust his judgement fully on this.
I think it's just as Tenent said about his family.
I'm sure he's been stressed, and it probably Was affecting his
family relationship.
Weather he did his job right, or made major mistakes, is aside from the point now. :shrug:
I am anxious to see who's next, and what changes might occur with policy. :lurk: :nanabang:
 
That popcorn is gonna get old & cold. Because of the election, Dubya won't nominate anybody since, whether God or foul, they'll be trampled to death.
