This is Eric Alterman's take on it:

=====
The question regarding Tenet is, which fall is he taking? Is it the

a)  � �I screwed up on 9/11� � fall?

b)  "I made up that stuff about WMD� � fall?

c)  � �I also made up that stuff about Iraq and Al-Qaida� � fall?

d)  � �And yeah, that stuff about the nukes, I made that up, too� � fall?

e)  � �I shoulda taken a look at that � �State of the Union� � thingy� � fall?

f)  � �Ahmad Chalabi is a bery, bery, good friend of mine� � fall?

g)  � �And so is Robert Novak� � fall?

h)  � �And what ever did happen to that bin Laden fellow?� � fall?

i)  � �Um, we could probably get some better info out of those prisoners if
we roughed � �em up a bit� � fall?

j)  And don� �t forget, the "We� �re wasting billions on a useless
star wars program while ignoring homeland security for our nuclear and
chemical plants� � fall.

We have only time constraints to keep us from going through the entire alphabet.

I don't think j) really applies, but it's an amusing list nonetheless.
