CIA memoir arrives April 30
Associated Press

NEW YORK - The much-delayed memoir of former CIA director George Tenet is coming out April 30, his publisher said Tuesday.

"It's a confirmed date," HarperCollins publicist Kate Pruss told The Associated Press. She declined to say whether the manuscript for "At the Center of the Storm" had been cleared by the CIA, a standard procedure for former officials that reportedly had held up publication, but said "April 30 is the date the book will be in stores."

Tenet, whose tenure at the CIA was marked by the Iraq war and the Sept. 11 attacks, originally planned to write his memoir for the Crown Publishing Group, a division of Random House, Inc., that announced an agreement in December 2004. Tenet's representative, attorney Robert Barnett, said then that the book would likely come out at the end of 2005 or early in 2006.

But the deal, reportedly for seven figures, soon fell through and Tenet switched to HarperCollins in March 2005, saying he needed "more time to both do the extensive research and to gain the necessary perspective."

2. Translation
From the article: Tenet switched to HarperCollins in March 2005, saying he needed "more time to both do the extensive research and to gain the necessary perspective."


In other words, he needed time to come up with more SPIN and LIES.

Wouldn't want to let King george take back that medal.

3. If he really tells the truth, it will be a best-seller.
