Title: A Detached Manager of the Nation's Intelligience
Review: I started reading this book with great respect for George Tenet. I finished it somewhat disappointed with him. My overall interpretation of what he has written is that many of the "mistakes" that were made were due to his detachment from many of the details of important intelligence information handled by the CIA. Many times he infers and outright states that "such and so was handling this and I should have paid more attention to it". I don't think anything George Tenet did or didn't do was done with malice, rather he was just not competent in the position he was in. It is not uncommon for a "star" performer at lower levels to rise to their level of incompetance. This is true in business and government. I have no doubt he was doing his best, but was simply the wrong man for the job at that time. However, hindsight is always 20/20.
