Interesting yet the CIA are questioning Valerie Wilson's book...
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. National Security Council is reviewing parts of former CIA Director George Tenet's memoirs.
Officials say the review by the NSC, which is part of the White House staff, is to determine whether "In the Center of the Storm" contains any classified information and not to vet it for negative comments on President Bush, The Washington Times reported. The CIA Publications Review Board sent parts of the manuscript to the NSC.
Tenet, who was first appointed head of the CIA by President Bill Clinton, remained in the position under Bush. He came under fire for failing to anticipate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and for overestimating the threat posed by Iraq.
Most notoriously, Tenet reportedly told the president that making the case that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction was a "slam dunk."
