Tenet's Tell All?

George Tenet, former director of the CIA, is about to come out with his memoirs telling his side of the story of the run-up to the Iraq war. Should be fun, at least if he attempts to be honestly informative. A forecast of this appears in today's Washington Post. Here is what it is expecting:

... Tenet is not going to get too many Christmas cards from Vice President Cheney's office after they read "At the Center of the Storm." Folks from down the river at the Pentagon, including former deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz-- a guy who's already going through a rough patch -- and former defense undersecretary Douglas Feith, might also get some heartburn.

Former secretary of state Colin Powell comes out fine. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who was President Bush's key adviser in engineering the Iraq invasion, doesn't come out so fine. Not fine at all.
.

Unlike a lot of political memoirs this one might be worth reading no matter how self-serving it may be.
