Who watches Nightline anymore?

People without cabel or dish TV, and my neighbors, who all suffer from depression or are hypochondria.

Tenet should have been fired on 9-12.

Every single dime of taxpayer money should have been pulled from PBS years ago. It's nothing but a Leftist propaganda machine. The people who run it should be arrested for sedition.

Try 01/22/01 right after Bush took office.

Look up Steve Weisman on the web and check out his website. He gives a great critique of Tenet.

Ive been listening to most of it. They make it sound very ominous, but for the most part it is all pretty straightforward. They have over-analyzed some of the internal politics. But in the end, it depicts an Administration that is doing what it thinks is right. So, good!

But plenty of nuance for the moonbats to do their typical paranoid thing.

I've never seen a documentary so heavily rely on "creepy pictures" to make its case.

They're really getting some use out of the sepiatone Photoshop filter.

with direct links to what ever is playing...
tonight is different only because of the particular subject.

You've got to admire the tenacity of the America-haters. We're headed toward a substantial victory in Iraq, bringing freedom to millions of people and hope to billions -- and the liberals just keep trying to throw sand in the gears. They never give up.

One interesting (if unintended) point was made early in the show. Rumsfeld was not happy that the (Clinton run) military had no plans for responding to AQ in Afghanistan.

Tenet served as the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence from June 1995 until he became Director on July 11, 1997, after a unanimous confirmation vote in the United States Senate. This followed the withdrawal of Anthony Lake, whose nomination had been blocked by Republicans in Congress. While the Director of Central Intelligence is typically replaced when a new administration comes to power, Tenet served through the end of the Clinton administration and well into the term of George W. Bush.

This guy was another "Yes man" appointed by Clinton in the mold of Janet Reno and Madeline Albright. Bush was ill served by keeping him around.
