Title: Timely and Important
Product review: Risen has given us a good study of the relationship between CIA and the Bush inner circle, how intelligence was manipulated, and how the personalities involved pursued their own agendas with disastrous consequences. Very telling is the profile of Director Tenet, a politico eager to stay on the job, and who seemed to put his need to be liked ahead of providing accurate intelligence and running an agency that is indispensable in advising presidents. It seems that Cheney and Rumsfeld dominated Tenet, and manipulated him to help them justify their preestablished desire to invade Iraq.All in all a sad tale.
