WASH POST:
The CIA is still a joke - a useless bureaucracy which fails to fulfil its mission and leaks anti-administration secrets. MOYNIHAN WAS RIGHT, perhaps: the CIA should be abolished.
UPDATE: Though certainly NOT a "slam-dunk", the mobile-labs claim is hardly DISPROVED.
In briefing Powell before his U.N. speech, George Tenet, then the CIA director, personally vouched for the accuracy of the mobile-lab claim, according to participants in the briefing. Tenet now says he did not learn of the problems with Curveball until much later and that he received no warnings from Drumheller or anyone else.TENET WAS A CLINTON APPOINTEE.
"No one mentioned Drumheller, or Curveball," Lawrence B. Wilkerson, Powell's chief of staff at the time, said in an interview. "I didn't know the name Curveball until months afterward."
