CIA Director Tenet Resigns
I am not a Tenet hater. Conservatives need to understand that no everyone appointed by Clinton had the same views as Clinton. Tenet is a political moderate--a lifelong Democrat, but definitely from the center wing of the party.
Nevertheless, there could be no doubt that someone more effective could be in what can be considered, in the age of terrorism, the second most important position in the government (after the president). Tenet was a political appointee. We need a professional national security specialist.
One interesting result will be this: since the new CIA director will be appointed by Bush, but will have to go through Senate confirmation, what will John Kerry do?
