Slam Dunk!
I must note that my Benched Man Award comments on Tenet was based solely on my viewing of the 60 Minutes interview, not the above link. In particular "...slam dunk, his reference was to building a case for the war."
So, Tenet was "the decider" who crafted the intelligence for "the decider", who went to war based on "conservative estimates".
This still begs many questions:
When did preemption start and when was it leaked?
More questions which should have been considered.
Given that the president was blunt about his intentions, war was not the last resort.
Stephanie Miller and several sources agreed with the take that "slam dunk" was about selling the war, while more than one source referred to "war crimes" in regards to this misuse of intelligence.
Impeachment should not be on the table to influence the president,
it should be on the table because it is the right thing to do. It is also a political thing to do, but the idea that some will not vote for impeachment is just political and is part of what must be brought to light.
