Hitchens on Tenets New Book
Wow. Ka-blam!
A sample:
To revisit these arguments is to be reminded that no thinking person ever felt that the danger posed by a totalitarian and aggressive Iraq was a negligible one. And now comes Tenet, the man who got everything wrong and who ran the agency that couldn't think straight, to ask us to sympathize with his moanings about "Iraq—who, me?"
A highly irritating expression in Washington has it that "hindsight is always 20-20." Would that it were so. History is not a matter of hindsight and is not, in fact, always written by the victors. In this case, a bogus history is being offered by a real loser whose hindsight is cockeyed and who had no foresight at all.

How do you know it's bogus? Because there's no evidence?
Well, then, we'll have to have an investigation to get the evidence.
OH NOES, PARTISAN WITCHHUNT!!!!11!!!!!
Did you lose it sometime today?
Hitchens simply points out absurdities in Tenet's script. No one is caling for an investigation into Tenet. No crime in being a bureaucratic weasel.
