This just in from investigative reporter Scott Ott:
Former CIA Boss Out of Loop on Parts of His New Bookby Scott Ott
Former CIA Director George Tenet said today that he was not included in discussions about key portions of his book that have been called into question by eyewitnesses to the events recounted.
“There was no serious debate at the publisher’s office, at least none that included me, about whether to retain certain questionable assertions in my book,†Mr. Tenet told 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley. “And yet, as usual, it looks like I’m going to take the heat for what appears in those pages just because I happen to be the author.â€
Mr. Tenet’s book, “At the Center of the Storm“, explains that during his tenure as the nation’s leading intelligence officer, he was intimately involved in many decisions that turned out well, but left “out of the loop†by White House officials on most situations that, in hindsight, have turned out badly.
There’s more so read the whole thing.
This was hysterical!
The guy is looking more and more like a caricature every day!

You bet your ass, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE AUTHOR.
Now I see why Bush kept him- he has doublespeak down to a fine art. Now if its between this lizard lounge suck-up or Bob Woodward, hmmmm, I think Woodward’s version of events is closest to the truth.
