...Consider:

--9/11 was the biggest CIA failure in history. No one was fired for this.

--The CIA's assessment of Iraq's WMD program turned out to be completely
wrong. George Tenet reportedly called it a "slam dunk." No one
was fired for this.

--The Senate Intelligence Committee reported that the CIA didn't have a
clue about the likely extent of the postwar insurgency. No one was fired for this.

--During the presidential campaign, several CIA sources leaked material to
the press that was damaging to President Bush. Shortly after the election,
people started getting fired.

What does this tell you about George Bush's priorities? Just this: even
though a bipartisan chorus of voices has called for a CIA shakeup ever
since 9/11, Bush did nothing for three long years. The only thing serious
enough to finally prompt him to take action was a few CIA leaks that made
him look bad...
