So Tenent is the fall guy or as Larry Johnson put it

the "whipping post"...Larry Johnson made an excellent point when he named all the CIA "endeavors" that were made at the asking of the sitting president at the time they were carried out, BUT the CIA remains the "whipping post" for taking the blame and heat off the president as he put it (with much frustration I might add).

I liked the CNN special, but I felt it let Bush off the hook and placed the blame on Tenent and the CIA--once again.

Even with all the "we didn't authorize" comments that the CIA made to Bush, it still looks like Tenent is the fall guy.

I know this is probably the best approach to get the public talking, but the spinsters will spin it that Tenent was the one at fault.
