Romney=Tenet

During his tenure as CIA director, Tenet and the intelligence community were criticized for their failure to prevent or even anticipate the September 11 terrorist attacks. In 2002, Tenet lent his personal authority to intelligence reports verifying weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, a key factor in the decision to go to war. Subsequent searches yielded no such stockpiles. In 2004, George Tenet resigned his post as CIA director citing personal reasons

Tenet testified before a public hearing of the Sept. 11 Commission investigating 9/11, that he did not meet with Bush in August 2001, the month before the September 11 attacks. The same evening after the hearings, a CIA spokesman corrected Tenet’s testimony, stating that Tenet did indeed meet with Bush twice in August. Tenet in his memoir writes of his memorable visit to Bush at Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, August 2001.

On December 12, 2002, he assured Bush that the evidence that Iraq had WMDs amounted to a “Slam Dunk!”  After several months of refusing to confirm this statement, Tenet stated that it was taken out of context. He indicated that it was made pursuant to a discussion about how to convince the American people to support invading Iraq

If Romney is elected, will George Tenet come back again?  Tenet's seven-year term as Director of Central Intelligence was the second-longest in U.S. history and  President Bush awarded Tenet the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  He has credentials, and extensive "experience" with the middle-east and might well be available as a "tie-breaker" for one of the sides involved in an administration discussion.  Tenet knows the people who will be Romney's staff and assistants very well.  They know him.  Even if Tenet does not play a headline role in a Romney administration, he will be there, behind the scenes perhaps, but a source of "information" and acquaintances.
