George Tenet gave up his honor and integrity a long time ago.

After George Tenet's freakish, yelping performance on 60 minutes I am surprised we did not get hit harder on 9/11. Excuses and defensiveness seem to define Tenet. Why can none of these men - and I include Condi Rice - simply apologize? Tenet blathered on about his honor and his integrity. His honor and his integrity are a pile of horseshit if he can't look at the camera and say "I am sorry" to the war widows, to the vets with legs blown off, to the country of Iraq he helped destroy. MEN OF HONOR STAND UP TO AUTHORITY WHEN THEY KNOW IT IS WRONG. Tenet caved to Cheney and Bush and bastards like Wolfowitz. He has no honor - when the others in the White House, none of them men of honor, threw him under the bus he should have expected it. That is what mafia men like Bush and Cheney do.
Tenet's whine on 60 minutes was a casserole of contradiction.
Iraq had weapons, but the war was trumped up..."Slam dunk" was not about the case against Iraq, it was about the C.I.A.'s ability to sell the case against Iraq to us gullible Americans...(Where, exactly , is the "honor" in this explanation?)..."I work my ass off...but I did not read the state of the union"- Tenet blamed his assistants for letting Bush lie about Niger. The leak of Valerie Plame's name was despicable, but hey, I'll take the medal of freedom.
And the National Intelligence Estimate Colin Powell recited at the U.N. seems to have no connection to the one Dick Durbin and the Senate Intelligence committee were briefed on. Iraq was an imminent threat for the U.N. in 2003. Iraq would not have a nuclear bomb for 4-7 years for 60 minutes in 2007.

None of these men have any honor - because none of these men had courage enough to stand up the the warmongers and war profiteers and delusional neo-cons. And now we are left to count the dead and wonder how long it will take to repair the damage this misguided war has done.
