Tenet was fired for not controlling his "troops" better.

Chalabi's "betrayal" was the last straw.

This is just my gut reaction.

1. Good call

2. makes more sense. nt

3. But who's gonna control them now?

You may have a point, though.

[grasswire]

4. good guess

I also like the theory posted on another thread that Tenet didn't want to have to lie in upcoming questioning, to cover the WH.

5. Uh, no...Tenet RESIGNED because he can be much more....

...effective against the NeoCons as a FORMER agency employee. Think about it.

6. I agree with that completely

The CIA regulars were running around shooting darts at the neo-cons and pushing the Plame thing.

SmirkCo needs someone who will put a lid on the CIA and make it completely beholden to the Bush Crime Family without any questions, compunctions or second thoughts.
'
Conveniently, Smirk can also blame him for 9/11, no WMDs etc etc.

7. Did you hear Tenet's farewell speech ?

He kissed Bush's ass like they were best buds and didn't mention Clinton at all. I don't understand his behavior if he was fired by Bush. Something doesn't add up.

Edited to add;

I heard someone say that the upcoming 9/11 report is going to be very hard on Tenet and he wanted to get out before it came out in July.

8. Yes. And I agree that something doesn't add up.

However, one day we've got Perle (the neocon's neocon) defending Chalabi against "the CIA" and two days later we have Tenet's resignation.
