Tenet crops himself

Robert Dreyfuss

There are lots of interesting nuggets in George Tenet's book, At the Center of the Storm, and it's nice to see that he's turned on the administration--even if it's years too late for it to make much difference. I'm reading the book now, but what amused me most about it is that in the photographs in the middle of the book, Tenet has a photo of Colin Powell during his error-filled address to the UN Security Council in 2003. During that address, Tenet sat directly behind Powell, over his right shoulder, lending the CIA's backing to Powell's half-truths, zero-truths, and exaggerations. Amazingly, Tenet crops the photo to eliminate himself!...
