Anybody know anything about George Tenet's book? Will there be leaks?
It's supposed to not be released until AFTER the election (Feb 2007) and is critical of the Bush Admin.

Tenet's Book Out to Bid
Former CIA Director George Tenet is shopping his "story of running the agency under former President Clinton and President Bush and in the wake of 9/11," Washington Whispers reports. "Tenet and lawyer Robert Barnett just wrapped up two weeks of shopping the book proposal around in New York, and a whopping 12 publishing houses want in."

"Publishing insiders said the advance could top $5 million for the former top spy, who's not expected to pull any punches in writing about his seven years at Langley. A publisher will be picked in November, and the book could hit stores by late '05 or early '06. On the New York tour, we're told, Tenet provided a summary and told war stories, and publishers signed agreements not to reveal what they heard. Tenet's getting some writing help from his former spokesman Bill Harlow, himself the author of the military thriller Circle William. We hear the White House is happy that the book summary is being kept secret until after the election."
