Several CIA officers are saying that George Tenet's not being truthful to the American public. Most notably, our friend Michael Scheuer, with whom you might remember confirmed my article "Bin Laden Allowed To Escape For Financial Reasons", tells us that Tenet is being "less than truthful certainly in regard to Osama bin Laden, saying that we didn't have the opportunity to kill him."
I've seen many bits of evidence and Mr. Scheuer appears to be telling the truth. If that's the case, George Tenet has a lot of explaining to do. We have one of the most advanced intelligence collecting agencies in the world, and I find it hard to believe that it's really that difficult to find Osama. I'm very curious on what's inside of Tenet's book, but with multiple people are calling into question his honesty, I now will take what's inside with a grain of salt.
Who's responsible for Osama slipping through our fingers before 9/11? Mr. Scheuer says that it's Clinton and possibly Tenet. When I was watching the program that I discussed in my "Bin Laden" article above, there were operations that were called off for various reasons, one of them I completely agree with: There were too many children around and we could not guarantee that those children wouldn't be injured or killed in a missile strike against Bin Laden. I want Bin Laden's head on a pike as much as anyone on the planet, but I'm not willing to kill innocent children to do it. However, once those children are in the clear such as the February 1999 incident, there should have been no reason why we didn't drop a bomb on top of him. NONE.
