To elaborate just a bit about what I mean:
Tenet was the one who sold Bush on the WMD stockpiles being a "slam dunk." The same Tenet who said so under Clinton, got the whole Clinton foreign policy apparatus to profess it loudly---with all the current Democrats who criticize Bush's "intelligence failure" singing along---in 1998.
Then Bush goes in and, for whatever reason, they aren't there. Egg on face.
Then there's this Joe Wilson character, sipping tea in Niger and returning home to declare a reference to British intelligence report in the President's state of the Union address a lie---an assessment which was later reaffirmed, by the way.
Then there's this Richard Clarke character, feeling slighted for what he believed was a demotion from the job to which he was "entitled", coming out and making his decade long failure to unravel the Al Qaeda plot look like the failure of an administration in office barely 8 mos after a bitter election contest.
To suppose that there might be anti-Bush CIA agents in Langley doesn't strike me as absurd at face value. Every institution in the last few decades has been horribly politicized and the myth of the "honest civil servant" is rapidly becoming a joke. This is sad.
