February 5, 2004: "No one told us what to say or how to say it..."
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 05:25 PM by bobthedrummer
George Tenet at Georgetown University, in a very rare public appearance of a CIA Director.

His remark was in the context of the lies about WMD's in Iraq.

I agree with this much of the quote "No one..." because it was, in fact, from many sources-but they were all lies and all being "told" in many venues.

From Doug Feith's Office of Special Plans to Richard Cheney's numerous unprecedented "visits" to the CIA, to the involvement of his daughter Elizabeth as a State Department employee involved with ME "economics" (oil) while most likely being a political operative for her daddy and the other traitors that went so far as to deliberately expose the identity of a CIA covert operative that was keeping tabs on real WMD's (nuclear weapons).

"No one.." because the lies and "game plans" coming from so many-Ahmed Chalabi and the PNAC neocons, so-called stove piped "intelligence" that were nothing but lies.

Lies from married couples like the Ledeens and the Wurmsers, lies from politicized extremists close to the intelligence community like James Woolsey and Porter Goss.

Notable individuals like David Addington, Richard Perle, Andrew Card and Karl Rove.

And all that after this criminal administration had ignored the numerous specific warnings from our intelligence and law enforcement communities as well as foreign sources about al Qaeda plans to attack.

It is worth remembering those words spoken by George Tenet 4 years ago just before so-called Super Tuesday.

"No one told us what to say or how to say it..." but the script was followed anyway.

A script that is still is being followed. Accountability as well as the rule of law and our Constitution have been extraordinarily rendered away to some dark places.

Please add some other names in posts to this thread of those that did, in fact, tell officials entrusted with the real national security of The United States of America what to say and how to say it and related facts.

1. A couple of related articles from CREW
"Federal magistrate orders Bush administration to tell CREW if e-mails about Plame leak are in backup files" (1-9-2008)http://www.citizensforethics.org/node/30713

Well there are claims that "backup files" are gone.

Here is a CREW article from today-
"CREW asks AG Mukasey to appoint Special Counsel to Investigate Disappearance of Millions of White House Emails" (2-4-2008)
http://www.citizensforethics.org/node/30932

Of course Mukasey is also following the script that says "we don't torture..."

"NO ONE TOLD US WHAT TO SAY OR HOW TO SAY IT..."

2. Even after he retired George Tenet can be quoted with this lie: "We don't torture..."
Well, consider this article about forms of CIA "no touch" torture that destroys personal identity, among other things
http://www.mindjustice.org/wisdom.htm

"No one told us what to say or how to say it..."
