"unknown" on chart...could it be this scoundrel?

[ourbluenation]

think about it

[Donnachaidh]

1. okay -- I'll play dummy -- who is this?

Terminal brainfart day.

[MissWaverly]

2. that's 'slam dunk' George Tenet getting the Medal of Honor

for allowing them to smear him.

[hootinholler]

11. That is *NOT* a medal of honor!

That's a freedom medal or some such, a civilian award.

This is what the Medals of Honor look like:
ARMY:
NAVY:
AirForce:

This is the Presidential Medal of Freedom:

The MOH is a military medal awarded by Congress, the PMOF is awarded by the President.

-Hoot

[MissWaverly]

14. sorry, Hoot, that is the Medal of Freedom

You are correct, anyhoo, it was awarded for him to keep quiet about the march to war.

4. It's been my suspicion for awhile

He was always so eager to please.....:mad:

5. check it out...

According to a report by veteran investigative journalist Bob Woodward in his book Plan of Attack, Tenet privately lent his personal authority to the intelligence reports about Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) in Iraq. At a meeting on December 12, 2002 he is said to have assured the President that the evidence against Saddam amounted to a "slam dunk case," although Tenet has refused to confirm that he said this. The search following the 2003 invasion of Iraq by U.S., British and international forces has proved unproductive and no stockpiles of WMD were found following the occupation of the country. The case of the invading governments for a legitimate war against Iraq had been based largely on the threat of WMDs in the hands of Saddam Hussein, supposedly on the strength of reliable intelligence assessments, including evidence that could not itself be made public. Thus a failure subsequently to find any banned weapons or programs became a considerable embarrassment for Tenet and the CIA.

******************

he, of all people, would have a motive to discredit joe wilson, since he laid it all on the line re: wmd's.

[Venus Dog]

He had the motive and he knew all the players

He was at the center of the storm ----- ooops, and imagine what .... his new book is titled just that...

"At the Center of the Storm" http://www.amazon.com/At-Center-Storm-George-Tenet/dp/0061147788/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-7087285-0066237?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174160140&sr=8-1

15. I don't believe it, a lot of what he purportedly said was from WH

[ourbluenation]

6. hmmm - no takers, huh? well this is my theory and i'm sticking to it.

:)

7. No Mr Tenet is too smart for that

And I don't want to hear no cracks about Crazy Guggenheim either.

[Graybeard]

13. Buddy Hackett?

...Crazy Guggenheim could sing. This guy ain't singing...yet.

[Straight Shooter]

8. The only prominent holdover from the Clinton administration.

Yes, I also think it's Tenet. There's a lot of things he isn't telling us, and a lot of things he never should have told bush, cheney, and rove.

[southerncrone]

9. Seems to make some sense.

I'm wondering HOW they will find out who "unknown" is?
Certainly the WH lips will be sealed.
Do you think there is a patriot left in our government who might know & tell?

[Venus Dog]

10. My guess is that Valerie and Joe know

as well as others in CIA. It will be interesting to see how this will unfold.

[southerncrone]

12. They are true patriots.

Even if they are being painted as evildoers by the real evildoers!
I pray nothing happens to either of them.

[Hepburn]

16. Yeah,

I say it's George. The only other possibility is Foggo...and he does not not tip my "oh yeah" scale as George T does.

[leftofthedial]

17. how many swords does he have to fall on

for the bush cabal?

[baldguy]

18. None

But he does get a nice retirement package.
