Tenet was a Clinton appointee, not a Bush "crony" by any stretch.

 

And yeah, it's been demonstrated that the CIA is run by a bunch of incompetents, but don't be fooled - Tenet's just a scapegoat here. If we're judging our top officials on the job they're doing to make the world safer for Americans, there's a couple other top officials who might want to think about resigning.

Bush said something to the effect of "he did a great job". This administration's absolute refusal to publicly admit to messing up anything has cost them their chance to scapegoat the one guy that could conceivably be blamed for some of their high-profile failures (and is a Clinton apointee to boot!).

 

Interesting.

from the washingtonpost:

'Still, Tenet's resignation signals the beginning of the breakup of a foreign policy team that has taken the country through the Sept. 11 crisis and two wars over the past 3 1/2 years. Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice have made it clear they will depart at the end of the current term, and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld appears unlikely to remain in the wake of the prison scandal in Iraq and the many calls for his resignation.

 

Thus, even if Bush wins reelection, the foreign policy slate largely could be wiped clean in six months'

Another one bites the dust...

Another key CIA official, James Pavitt -- the CIA's deputy director of operations who oversees all covert operations -- plans to announce his resignation Friday, U.S. sources told CNN Thursday.

 

Oh yeah and here's another take on the Tenet resignation. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_4634.shtml
