The mysterious survival of George Tenet
AP:
No shit, Sherlock. And that's because George Tenet has "our" killer President by the balls.
Can anyone doubt that the real business of the CIA right now is not intelligence, but running a covert, Operation Phoenix-style operation of extra-judicial assassination against AQ (and whoever else Bush thinks, under the doctrine of pre-emption, deserves to be killed)? And that it's highly unlikely that Congress gave approval to this program? And that it's also extremely likely to have really bad blowback effects, and in the near term at that? Yep, I don't think George Tenet is going to be fired any time soon.
But Frederick Hitz, a former CIA inspector general now at Princeton University, said he doesn't believe Bush would be inclined to fire Tenet.
"[Bush]'s loyal to his people and I think he would like to have George Tenet depart on his own terms. So I think [Bush] would try to avoid any rupture if possible," Hitz said.
