WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 _ — For the past two years, George J. Tenet has maintained a determined silence even as senior White House officials have laid the blame for the prewar mistakes about Saddam Hussein on him. But now Mr. Tenet, the nation’s former spy chief, is preparing to return fire.
Mr. Tenet was awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom at a grand White House ceremony in December 2004, after stepping down as director of central intelligence, only to have Vice President Dick Cheney appear on “Meet the Press” 21 months later and pin the mistake about the Iraq intelligence squarely on him.
Now, as he races to complete a memoir due out this spring, the talk in Washington has turned to how Mr. Tenet, known for fierce loyalty and political survival instincts that enabled him to weather both Democratic and Republican administrations, will use the book to juggle a host of agendas: polishing his legacy, settling scores and explaining just what he meant when he said it was a “slam dunk” that Mr. Hussein had unconventional weapons.
Of course, Mr. Tenet must finish the book first, which has proved to be something of challenge. The book was supposed to hit shelves last week, but Mr. Tenet was still writing as late as last month. The book has also undergone a slow vetting process at the White House and the C.I.A., which reviewed it to ensure it did not contain classified information.

Re: Tenet's book will return fire and settle scores
What's with everyone making terrible decisions, and then writing a book saying they were forced to? Whatever happened to principles and accountability? Why are people appointed, or elected into positions of importance, if they are uncapable of making principled decisions? Everyone passes the buck in this country, and it's kinda sad. If more people stuck to their convictions, my guess is that the people would be far better served. Instead, we get party over principle, dollar over dignity, and selfishness as opposed to selflessness.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him." Leo Tolstoy, 1897

Because in this country, admitting mistakes as a leader makes people lose respect for you. It's twisted I know, but people would rather believe in a fake, infallible image than a real person.
