    Non mea culpa

    Tenet, in his infantile defense of his shameful desire to make nice with Bush and Cheney, sold his soul. As Sidney so brilliantly points out here, he has only dug himself deeper into a hole of culpability for not preventing 9/11 and for bringing about the Iraq war. He may be appalled when people say he has blood on his hands, but the facts speak for themselves. His outrageous opportunism he wears as a badge of honor, and for this he should be roundly condemned.
