GT was ot qualified to be in the CIA, let alone lead it!

After he received his M.A., Tenet became research director of the American Hellenic Institute from 1978 to 1979.[6] He then began working for the U.S. Senate, first as a legislative assistant and later as Legislative Director to former Senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania (1982-85). He was a staff member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) from 1985-88, then Staff Director of the SSCI from 1988-93. It was at this time that Tenet joined President-elect Bill Clinton’s national security transition team. Clinton appointed Tenet Senior Director for Intelligence Programs at the National Security Council (1993-95)

Tenet was appointed the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence in July 1995 and served in that capacity 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 While the Director of Central Intelligence has typically been replaced by an incoming administration ever since Jimmy Carter replaced DCI George H.W. Bush, Tenet served through the end of the Clinton administration and well into the term of George W. Bush.

My father said he went for a job at the CIA (in finance), probably around 1960. He said they wanted to know stuff like the maiden name of his great grandmother.

He wasn't much into genealogy, so he didn't bother to continue to fill out forms.

Tenet: an example of someone from the Clinton Admin that President Bush should have dismissed his first week in office.
