Oh, Tenet was a lot more clever about how he said it, but methinks letting this little tidbit slip is come CIA payback for the Plame affair.
From
CounterSpin:
ROEMER: So you're saying it's them, not the CIA, that should have been attentive to this?
TENET: Well, the CIA is in the CSG meeting as well. I mean, everybody's at the table. The FBI is there, the NCS is there, CIA is there, domestic agencies are there.
Throughout this time period -- I don't have access to the minutes and recordings of what happened -- what actions were they tasking, how were they thinking about this?
ROEMER: They're going through a bottom-up review...
KEAN: Congressman, we've got to move on. We have run out of time. We've got one more commissioner.
ROEMER: OK. "
THERE ARE RECORDINGS AND MINUTES OF THOSE MEETINGS AVAILABLE!!!!!!!
This is like the moment during the Watergate hearings when Alexander Butterfield admitted that Nixon taped all of his White House meetings!
This is HUGE NEWS!
WE SHOULD BE DEMANDING THE RELEASE OF THOSE RECORDINGS AND MINUTES!!
UPDATE: Not, also, how right when Tenet let the cat out of the bag, Chairman Kean cut off the line of questioning?
Fun times a'comin'!
