CIA Intelligence failures are deeper than imagined

Citing personal reasons, CIA Director George Tenet resigned yesterday after seven years on the job. Sources close to Tenet tell Verbal Jazz that they are unsure as to whether the true reason is the amount of blame thrust on Tenet in the wake of intelligence failures surrounding 9/11 and the war on Iraq, or if he was afraid on being grilled on intelligence failures that did not forecast Fantasia's stunning victory in "American Idol." In the CIA's favor, they did correctly ascertain that Ross and Rachel would wind up together.
