Critics have started picking apart the book's accuracy. In a dramatic preface, Tenet said he ran into former Pentagon adviser Richard Perle coming out of the White House on Sept. 12, 2001, and Perle told him Iraq had to pay for the attack. "They bear responsibility," Tenet recalls Perle saying.
On Sunday, Perle categorically denied the exchange to the editor of the conservative Weekly Standard and noted he was out of the country until Sept. 15. Tenet's associate said the date may have been wrong, but the exchange took place.
So Tenet lied, but an unnamed "associate" told the truth?
“Tenet’s associate said the date may have been wrong, but the exchange took place.”
Good grief...the way tenet stressed “it was September 12th!!” makes this lie even worse. Much more than just a mistake.
And the way he went on and on about the WH revealing plames name was sickening. Lost ALL credibility.
