re: ´slam dunk´ The two words that gave Bush the green light for war
Well, looks like Tenet was wrong but he had company. ALL the Western intel orgs had pitiful humint assets and failed to provide the necessary info. In retrospect, it was to be expected that the democracies would .scale back on intel following the fall of the Soviet Union. Remember the "peace dividend" talk in the early 90s? The intel orgs disrespect for Islamic terrorists caused them to ignore the growing problem.
