14. I know. He hasn't been interviewed since a "60 Minutes" piece in 2007 when he was marketing his book

I can't agree with you that it can all be chalked up to Condi's distraction, inattention, and Bush's singular lack of curiosity. Tenet makes it clear in his book, "Center of the Storm" that he did personally fly to Crawford and personally briefed Bush on the al-Qaeda terrorist threat during the weeks leading up to 9/11. Bush did have the warning memo read to him August 6th, to which he responded dismissively to his CIA briefers, "Ok, you've Covered Your Ass."

Willful failure to act resulting in death is known by the legal term, Criminally Negligent Manslaughter "with Depraved Indifference to Human Life." Culpability and subsequent CYA lying are still so widespread that it casts virtually everything that Administration did in the name of 9/11 and the "Global War on Terrorism" into doubt. Depraved.
