George Tenet conspired to falsify America’s reasons for going to war in Iraq so that years later when the investigation of the disclosure of CIA agent Valerie Plame was reignited in a Congressional Investigation ..
(an investigation thwarted a couple weeks ago by a Presidential claim of executive privilege)
.. a randomly selected Pulitzer Prize winning author could announce a new book about it the same week that Robert Novak ..
(a material witness in the Valerie Plame case, who could not be covered by a claim of executive privilege)
.. announced his totally unrelated dire medical condition driven retirement.
The codename for this top-secret operation, mispronounced repeatedly "slam dunk" by Vice President Dick Cheney, was actually "slam duck", referring to slamming a CIA officer and then ducking when shit flew later.
George Tenet, who could have been contacted to verify the existence of Operation Slam Duck, wasn't.
