Given that he was clueless about the intentions of our enemies back when he had the job of telling the President just that, it is not too surprising that George Tenet has trouble even recalling what his own government was doing back around 9/11.
Considering that the CIA has seemed far more skilled at destablizing the Bush administration than the governments of our enemies, this failing should not be a surprise.
When in the eye of a storm, all seems calm while in reality the storm rages about you, destroying what it touches. What comes after the temporary calm is worse than the first glimpse of the storm.
George Tenet's book title is revealingly appropriate.
