Reply #10: It will be interesting to see if the New CIA will cover for Cheney

[FreakinDJ]

Tenet and Pavitt were definitely the "Fall on swords" type of loyalist. But what of the next in line CIA officials?

Will Bush's falling numbers and severely questionable re-election efforts draw out some ambitious CIA hopefuls. Clearly life time intelligence officers exist in the CIA now that know the expression "New broom sweeps clean".

They might be the ones to openly say "Those weren't our analyst on Iraq Weapons of Mass Destruction". "We knew Chalabi was not to be trusted and told the administration". "We advised the president clearly on the threat of 911".
