At the Center of the Storm won't be published until Monday, but it's has already been written up in today's New York Times, and CBS has released excerpts of George Tenet's interview on 60 Minutes this Sunday. In Plan of Attack, Tenent was quoted as saying the case that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction was a "slam dunk." That's been proved untrue, but administration supporters used the quote to hold the former CIA director responsible for bad intelligence. Now, he's speaking out bitterly about the leak of his comment to Bob Woodward its impact on his career. Has Tenet revealed what the public needs to know? We hear from skeptic David Corn of The Nation.
