I do know that after the major part of the war in Afghanistan, I saw an interview with the President. He said that on the Saturday after 9/11, when the War Council was gathered at Camp David, it was George Tenet who insisted that we could combine our modern warfare technology and the almost medieval methods of the Afghan fighters to wage a very effective war, while minimizing harm to our troops.

I think there is a great deal we do not know ... and we have to keep in mind that what we do know has been filtered through the MSM for the most part.

Very true, kayak. What happened in those dark days will take many years to fully be told.

The made for TV movie DC 9/11: Time of Crisis (with Timothy Bottoms as President Bush and Penny Johnson as Condaleezza Rice) is now available at Amazon on DVD.

If the actors came across somewhat as charicatures of the real people, the timeline and the facts and the things said and done were very accurate and it is thus compelling viewing.

Tenet's role in planning the Afghan Operation Enduring Freedom is delineated as you have said.

I agree completly. I also trust the President's reasons for presenting the medal.

I'm glad you said that, kayak. I agree.

Good comments at #73. Especially, "I think there is a great deal we do not know ... and we have to keep in mind that what we do know has been filtered through the MSM for the most part."
