On the Daily Show tonight, Bob Woodward said George Tenet pronounced the evidence of weapons-of-mass-destruction in Iraq a "slam dunk" at a meeting AFTER his deputy had presented evidence so weak that George W. Bush asked, "Is that all you got?"
What is the name of the deputy?

it may have been another conversation. It was after this presentation by McLaughlin, however, that Tenet gave his Slam Dunk remark.
Good book, BTW. Not quite as juicy as Worse than Watergate, which I just finished and fear I might have drooled on the pages where Dean was particularly, and nastily, critical of Bush/Cheney (who he calls the Co-President.)
