  1. …”We don’t torture.” Of course you don’t George…I’m not a bald headed Redneck either, in fact, I went to Yale with The Decider—I mean—What a fuckin’ farce—Laughable and provocative of loud groans as that lying sack of shit Clinton stating “…Well that depends on what you’re definition of ‘is’ is” while being deposed by other Lawyers…I don’t presume to challenge the Intelligence Community, that’s been left to Dirty Dick Cheney and his friends like Little Scooter Libby and Mr. Addington—But, if I’m to understand that when deemed necessary, torture is and has been in reality a very common practice—They should understand that there are more than one of us who hold the “simple,” if not “ridiculous” conviction that: If they can torture them today? They can torture you tomorrow…Think about it…What size Alligator clip does the head of your cock wear?

  2. It sure looked to me like George Tenet is dreaming of a political come back. He thinks he can repair his reputation by kicking Cheney while he down. Everyone is piling on Dick. Participating in this public whipping of The Vice President who has a 9% approval might just restore some street credibility. That’s real courage for you. Where was your courage Mr. Tenet back when it mattered? Back when you could have stopped this war, back when you were getting medals where was your courage then? But it will not matter, the rats are jumping ship I’m laughing and crying at the same time. It is great to see Cheney more isolated (Bush is too stoned to care), I sure would love to see more rats drown, but while I would find that to be edifying, but would it serve any purpose.

  3. …If brevity is the soul of wit? I think George Tenet was made an offer by Dirty Dick Cheney of coming up with the right intelligence, as part of an offer that “he couldn’t refuse.” Then Cheney fucked him over anyway…As for Mr. Tenet thinking that the Ba’athist Regime actually had Strategic NBC capabilities pre-Invasion?? No Cigar Mr. Tenet…Had that been the case, Ariel Sharon would have put another pre-emptive IDF Air Strike on Iraq quicker than a stink on shit…like they did back in ’81…Worse than that, when Saddam actually did have NBC capabilities?…And deployed them against the Kurds and Shias in his post Kuwaiti Anfal Campaign?…It was The US who sold him the goods he needed from A to Z…There’s the fuckin’ world you live in for you. These sonsofbitches have lied so much, for so long, they’ve probably wouldn’t recognize the truth if it jumped up and bit ‘em in the ass…Have a nice night.

  4. Poor George Tenet; He Still Doesn’t Get It by Ray McGovern

    So we’ve got ruined reputations and blots on records. Poor boys. What about the 3,344 American soldiers already killed in a war that could not have happened had not these poor fellows deliberately distorted the evidence and led the cheering for war? What about the more than 50,000 wounded, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis whose deaths can be attributed directly to the invasion and its aftermath? There are blots, and there are blots. Why is it that Tenet and Powell seem to inhabit a different planet?

    Despite all this, they still have their defenders … or at least Tenet does. (Powell’s closest associate, Col. Larry Wilkerson, decided long ago to turn state’s evidence and apologize for his and Powell’s role in the intelligence fiasco, but Powell has tried to remain above the battle. He may, I suppose, be writing his own book to explain everything.)

    Yesterday on National Public Radio, Tenet’s deputy and partner in crime, John McLaughlin, went to ludicrous lengths reciting a carefully prepared list of “all the things that the CIA got right,” while conceding that it (not “we,” mind you, but “it”) performed “inadequately” in assessing weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Picky, picky.

    Defending Torture … Again

    Hewing to the George W. Bush dictum of “catapulting the propaganda” by endlessly repeating the same claim (the formula used so successfully by Joseph Goebbels), Tenet manages to tell “60 Minutes” five times in five consecutive sentences: “We don’t torture people.” Like President Bush, however, he then goes on to show why it has been absolutely necessary to torture people. What do they take us for, fools? And Tenet’s claims of success in extracting information via torture are no more worthy of credulity than the rest of what he says.

    His own credibility aside, Tenet has succeeded in destroying the asset without which an intelligence community cannot be effective. And that is serious. He seems blissfully oblivious to the damage he has done – aware only of the damage others have done to his “personal honor.”

  5. …Ya know Mudd, Head Spook George looked and acted like he was goin’ into The DT’s last night with Scott Pelley…Either that or Matt Damon and John Turturro dipped his $50 cigars in some Cold War Pharmaceutical LSD

  6. …All kidding aside Gentlemen, my considered opinion is, they, i.e., the neo-Con forces of The Decider got to George Tenet, and in so doing, got what they wanted. Namely a CIA Intelligence assessment to fabricate rationale for Invasion they could sell to the Public. That, and I wonder what Perle really said to him I regard to his co-operation?—And if it’s what i think it is—Tenet should’ve put his cigar out in his face.
