If one was looking for Mr. Tenet to really expose the behind the scenes rancor, you will only get a tease. Mr. Tenent remains loyal to our bumbling, stumbling, President, and in many ways lets this want to be great, off the hook. No stake to the heart. On the other hand those who handle this "Pretender" in the White House have more than enough rocks thrown at them. Not to mention the acid reaction over the Valerie Plame outing, Niger, and more. For certain the war over Iraq, and the war in Iraq receive the greater brightness of attention as well it should. The Gung Ho attitude, and the lack of attention to post invasion reactions. The constant attempts to make the non existant connection between 9/11, and Iraq, weapons of mass destruction and the like. Our present security and the lack thereof. The fact Ms. Rice acted as if she was not home leading up to 9/11, and continued "I do not get it" preceptions to this very day. The bulldog vice "Pretender" who has no clue as to the truth about any of this mess. America cannot clean house soon enough, and we wave ado to the whole lot. Our young men and women in the Military dying as heros, but ill used by this gang of "Nincompoops," who seem unable to think their way out of a wet paper bag. The lack of focus in Afganistan, when we had the bulk of the terrorist leadership in our sights, and failed to give the proper orders to pull the trigger. There is enough blame to go around. Both in and out of the CIA, but for sure someone has to stand for what is right and best, for our future security. Tapping the phones of the innocent, reading just everyone's e-mail is not enough to make the proper changes to secure our nation. There is no security for any of us if one takes that which is most dear, our rights, in the name of security. Akin to throwing the baby out with the bath water.Read full review
Written by former CIA director George Tenet, a compelling account of his years at the CIA and the events of his time. An autographed copy, it is near perfect condition. Very pleased. Thank you!

This book explains alot of the background info for this Iranian mess the U.S. is in. Of course, the book tends in the favor of the author. as with all things in life, everyone has their own spin on things- I'm glad to have read it & will encourage others to read it also. debi
As noted here Tenet is a microcosm for all things wrong with Washington. A good old boy protecting the party, laying the ground work for WW3 with Iran, people like him are the reason why we are $9 TRILLION dollars in debt, 50 million Americans have NO health care and Social Security is empty, as long as he gets 4 or 5 pensions from his various cushy postions and Halliburton makes $25 for a 2 inch screw all is well. The only small revelation was the clear admission that there was NO reason to rush into Iraq and him not knowing why we are still there, other than the $750 Billion in Defense contracts. If the Director of the CIA does not know who would?

The book arrived in excellent conditon and on time. I have not had a chance to begin reading it, but my reason for purchasing it, is that I want to be a bit more informed about the goings on of the CIA, being that Tenet was its former head.
