“I never could understand why GWB kept Tenet in the first place.”
The “New Tone” rears it’s ugly hand again. Let’s see Richard Clarke, numerous State and Justice Department, CIA and FBI guys, etc, etc, etc.
Memo to the next GOP President, especially one that MIGHT have to take over after a Hillary Clinton adminsitration:
You fire (or ask for the resignationa) of everyone and anyone that was appointed by that women. You leave one trace of that crowd in your adminstration, they will come back and bite you in the ass.
Early in the Eisenhower Administration I was in the office of a career civil servant in DC, on Air Force busines. As part of the general conversation, he complained that the Administration was firing people well down the totem pole; people who really had no say on policy. However, after 20 years of New and Fair Deals, the liberals had taken over the "permanent government" at almost all levels. It isn't enough to fire a few top people. You have to root out the termites in the babsement as well.
