Entire CIA story of mis-management is HERE (To avoid the insane registration, go HERE first) Impossible to summarize except to say that we have no CIA. Absolutely terrible. And it's a Republican report. Senate report is similarly bad.

1. The CIA has ignored its core mission of spying, has refused to take corrective action and is heading "over a proverbial cliff" after years of poor planning and mismanagement
2. "For too long, the CIA has been ignoring its core mission activities. There is a dysfunctional denial of any need for corrective action."
3. "The damage to the [human intelligence] mission through its misallocation and redirection of resources, poor prioritization of objectives, micromanagement of field operations, and a continued political aversion to operational risk is, in the committee's judgment, significant and could be long lasting."
And it goes on, and on, and on..... This could easily destroy Bush. Tenet is a guy who clearly should have been replaced when Bush took office, instead he was retained. Bush ignored failure after failure, and in fact continued to rely on an already bad agency. Bush is a bad manager. Period. If I didn't believe that the Democrats were dominated by a traitorous Left I'd never vote for Bush again in a million years. Who else is responsible? Monica Lewinsky?
