Will the CIA defend itself or cave in and take the blame again?

Poll question: Will the CIA defend itself or cave in and take the blame again?

Do they really owe allegiance to former director Poppy's SON, the little bastard who ignored the real intelligence (pretty much anything Powell ever said was refuted) to use their name to invade Iraq?

The rest of the CIA has got to be fuming that Tenet fell on the sword once already...will the CIA do it again?

1. Of course, there is another option they may take.

Would you screw with an agency who has practiced "eliminating the problem" as part of a way of doing business for 50 years?

2. I think it depends

If Tenet thinks dubya is vulnerable, he'll pile on. If he's still afraid of dubya, he'll meekly fall on his sword.

My guess is that guy you see standing out in the snow in DC with his finger in the air is Tenet.

btw.....he's been really quiet these past few days......kay's story broke on Friday and Tenet hasn't said pfffffftttt/

4. Maybe that Newsweek poll showing Kerry beating Bush...

...will help the fucker grow a spine.

8. I am not sure

that all the indians are still on the reservation.
I think l'affaire Plame has gotten a section of the company
out for blood. It does not matter what Tenet says, they may not listen anymore.

I think it will come around just before super tuesday that we will see another burst of un spinnable stories.

3. The CIA might not get the chance this time (Hutton Report is due)

5. They will cave

the Plame thing shows them they are not safe with this gang in power.

7. Another reason to go after him, IMHO

Nothing would make the bastard sink lower in the polls.

6. I have no idea what they'll do, nothing surprises me anymore
