Poll question: Most notorious CIA director?

Just wondering your choice for the maddest, baddest head spook, and why.

1. What was so notorious about Tenet's reign?

Long serving director and now critical of Bush.

From my limited knowledge I would say Dulles for most evil.

"the man who kept the secrets."

His directorship gave reign to the worst excesses of the agency. Mind control was his baby. Just ask Sirhan.

A close second would be Casey. A faithful servant of the BFEE, and October Surprise co-conspirator when he acted as Reagan's campaign chief. He paid for his crimes with his life. Wasn't it the very day he was to testify that he suffered his fatal stroke?
