USA: washingtonpost.com: Pre­serv­ing CIA Sta­tus Will Test New Chief: “The White House-sanctioned pho­tos said it all: George Tenet with Pres­i­dent Bush at Camp David as the Afghanistan war began. George Tenet seated behind Sec­re­tary of State Colin L. Pow­ell at the U.N. brief­ing on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruc­tion. George Tenet lean­ing across the president’s desk address­ing Vice Pres­i­dent Cheney the day the Iraq war kicked off.
The mes­sage: After years of obscu­rity, the CIA was back, and at the cen­ter of the major White House deci­sions on for­eign operations.”
