Sources that report to the Executive Branch. Wonder who's in charge of that?
Was Tenet a Bush appointee?

Not important. The head of the Executive Branch must be able to assure that all
of his underlings are doing a proper job. It is his responsibility to exercise
judgment and replace those underlings who will not serve him or the public
well.
No doubt the CIA did convince a number of people that SH was sitting on a
bulging pile of nasty weapons and ready to go nuclear any moment. It's always
tough to prove a negative, and that was the position that Iraq was in. We felt
we didn't have to prove they had the weapons, but left them the rather
impossible task of proving that they did not.
*If* Bush was taken in by the CIA, he lacks the ability to control his own
department- so how the heck can he be considered capable of running the
country?
*If* is a big word. It takes the onus of lying off the back of the
President. So, let's hear no more about Bush telling lies.
As to what actions Bush should have taken with regard to the
information provided by Tenet, I can't say. Perhaps Bush should have
fired Tenet. Perhaps Bush still believes that Saddam did have WMD.
Perhaps those WMD are now in Syria. There are all kinds of "perhaps"
out there, other than the "Bush lied" perhaps.
Do I know which is true? No. NOYB has posted some very interesting
articles. Read them. You, et al, simply overlook anything that doesn't
start with, "Bush lied, neiner, neiner, neiner."
