zasel says:

George Tenet is making a fortune off of this war in Iraq that he helped initiate with his intelligence failures and his willingness to help the Bush administration create the "Slam Dunk" marketing plan to sell this illegal war to the American people. He should return his Medal of Freedom and donate a large portion of his profits from this war to the families of those service members maimed or killed in action.
