"I have reason to believe that George Tenet, the director of the CIA who resigned in June [2004] and left in July, got it right on both key issues. He correctly assessed the terrorist threat, and his basic approach to the Iraqi conundrum was similarly accurate....Mr. Tenet was in office for seven years and his many successes cannot be publicly revealed. But there is one achievement of which one can speak: the rare knack he had of pulling together a genuine international effort in this third world war against Islamic terror and the proliferation of WMD." (ECONOMIST) The author defends the work of the U.S. intelligence community and the leadership of George Tenet in this article.
