Who asked for the authority to go to war? It sure as hell wasn't George Tenant was it?

No, he just made the case for going to war. Which was very strong at the time. His summaries made Bush's case, without that intel, hillary doesnt vote yes.

But then at the same time why were all these intel anylasts being stepped on and told to shut up when they tried to point out the contrary to their chain of command... thats what needs to get solved, everyone that was stepped on inside the CIA and told to shut up because their assesments didn't jive with what Tenant was saying... and somehow Tenant gets a medal for all this shit, where me being in my position would be in PRISON!

Did anyone MAKE people in the CIA 'shut up'? All they had to do is leak it to the press, heck congress leaks sensitive information all the time. All the reporters do is say an 'anonymous source' said.... That’s why I don’t buy conspiracy theories today, too many leaks and too many reporters dieing to tell. Especially with the Internet. Republicans should thank Gore for inventing it, since blogs debunks a lot of the myths reporters give out. The media are messing their pants now that they don’t have a monopoly with the big three + CNN.

hahahaha

You people are idiots... Would you expect me to leak secrets to the press, and risk my job and my freedom for it... I'm not willing to go to jail for 30+ years or get executed for treason for something like that... I love how you people live in hollywood.

The press is controlled by George and the PHSYOP. If it was leaked it was someone afraid to stand up against this overbearing, controlling. politically motivated administration, but knew what was going on was wrong. Or it is possible Bush wanted it leaked. All is not as it seems in many ways. Boy, I wonder if there is a Hollywood movie here.
Bush had all the info at the start of the war and was the one in charge of what to use. Any wrongs done were by him, and all who knew, every single castle and pawn on his twisted chess board.

Dont get me going on Hollywood lol. The golden globes last night was a liberal love fest. And if George did control the press he is doing a bad job of it. There is a negative story about republicans every day and when they do say something about democrats its on the back page in small print. Its amazing. The liberal media (- foxnews) is turning into what the government was in the 50's/60's, controlling and will do anything for their personal politics, they just dont realize this. Again, thank god for the internet to balance the mis-information

Well said!! Can't disagree with that!

I'm simply astounded by the availability of intellectual dishonesty in the media... I dont like to say it, but I have trouble finding someone that is willing to play devils advocate when talking to someone... we are raising a generation of pussies... the media only brings on people they agree with, the headlines follow the party lines... it's sick.
