Dumb v. pathetic
Tuesday, May 8, 2007 at 2:14AM ARTICLE: "Teaching Recent History From Opposite Perspectives: At Georgetown, It's Feith vs. Tenet and Policy vs. Intelligence," By Dafna Linzer, Washington Post, May 7, 2007; Page A17
Georgetown seriously needs to rethink how it attracts talent: Feith versus Tenet? "Dumbest f--king guy on the planet" versus just plain pathetic is more like it.
Feith was a total abuser of power while Tenet was a major league shirker of responsibility (spare me the courage of speaking out in your memoir, buddy, because we weren't paying you for that--were we?-- when you were CIA boss).
Is it just me, or isn't it weird how we all think intell is broken as an institution and yet everytime these guys individually go public with books, they're instantly treated as soothsaying geniuses?
If they're all that great, why don't we have better intell? Why don't we do better against terrorists?
Oh yes, I forget: system did it to them, politicians did it to them, and all their successes are never publicized.
Or we just swallow this BS whole.
Thank you sir, but I don't want another!
