"If Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard's release were included in the 1998 Hebron agreement, then CIA Chief George Tenet would have been out of a job, the former intelligence agency head explained in his new book released Monday.

In his book, 'At the Center of the Storm', Tenet discusses several issues, including the US war in Iraq and the global war on terror. Tenet also dedicates a chapter to detailing the events leading up to the signing of the Hebron agreement, and the Israeli demand to have Jonathan Pollard released.

Pollard, a former United States Naval civilian intelligence analyst, was convicted of spying for Israel and sentenced to life in prison in 1986.

In his book, Tenet, who was part of security negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, reveals, for the first time, the events of the Wye Plantation summit before the signing of the Hebron agreement, and the pressure placed on him to include Pollard in the deal."

1. The events don't really support Tenet's self-inflated position.

I wonder if Berger, Albright, Clinton and others will be nice and not call him on this.

3. Not the first mistake I've seen pointed out.

Some were simple matters of fact.

Tennet's memory is, well, all too human.
