CIA's Tenet Missed Chances to Thwart al-Qaida

Who knows whether this report would have helped or hurt George Tenet's book sales, CIA Missed Chances to Thwart al-Qaida, but this is what I thought was interesting from the article, "CIA Director Michael Hayden said the decision to release the report was not his choice or preference . . ." and was quoted as saying:

"I thought the release of this report would distract officers serving their country on the front lines of a global conflict," Hayden said. "It will, at a minimum, consume time and attention revisiting ground that is already well plowed."

It is laughable to assert that this information (assigning any blame to Tenet--it doesn't fit the Bushitler template) is "well plowed" ground to anyone other than talk radio listeners. But Hayden would be right vis a vis "distractions" if Bush had decided to fire Tenet, a Clinton administration holdover . . . we almost definitely would have needed "congressional oversight" into his decision to replace him.
