George Tenet's Imaginary Encounter... With Richard Perle.

SCOTT SHANE REPORTED in Saturday's New York Times that former CIA chief George Tenet's dramatic description in his book, At the Center of the Storm, of an August 2002 presentation at the CIA by defense undersecretary Douglas Feith and his staff, is at the very least misleading.
In order to suggest that Feith's staff was utterly out of its depth, Tenet characterized the main briefer, Tina Shelton, as a "naval reservist." In fact, she had been a Defense Intelligence Agency analyst for almost two decades. Tenet also claimed that Shelton said in her presentation of Iraq-al Qaeda contacts, "It is an open-and-shut case." Shelton and Feith both deny she said that. One person who served in government with Shelton told THE WEEKLY STANDARD today he finds it "inconceivable" that Shelton, an experienced analyst, would have made such an unequivocal assertion.
THE WEEKLY STANDARD has now learned of a second, more stunning error in Tenet's book (which is due to appear in bookstores tomorrow). According to Michiko Kakutani's review in Saturday's Times,
On the day after 9/11, he [Tenet] adds, he ran into Richard Perle, a leading neoconservative and the head of the Defense Policy Board, coming out of the White House. He says Mr. Perle turned to him and said: "Iraq has to pay a price for what happened yesterday. They bear responsibility."
Here's the problem: Richard Perle was in France on that day, unable to fly back after September 11. In fact Perle did not return to the United State until September 15. Did Tenet perhaps merely get the date of this encounter wrong? Well, the quote Tenet ascribes to Perle hinges on the encounter taking place September 12: "Iraq has to pay a price for what happened yesterday." And Perle in any case categorically denies to THE WEEKLY STANDARD ever having said any such thing to Tenet, while coming out of the White House or anywhere else...

I don’t. The first thing I remember Baldwin from is “She’s Having a Baby”.
Great minds think alike!

Why did President BILL CLINTON refuse 3 free offers from the Sudan during the 1990’s to bring us OSAMA bin LADEN to American custody before he could hit us real hard here at home..?
Why did HILLARY RODHAM & BILL CLINTON actively support Communist North Vietnam’s push to take over a then Free South Vietnam during the Vietnam War..?
For...

Your voice must be nationally. So much you know so much to be shared.
Dang! looks like no callers until after the top of the next hour since JF is on. Still on hold.
Since Clintoon never worked in his life why should he have started then.
To be serious, he had an agenda and it wasn’t supporting the U.S.
