In his latest effusion, he writes: “I do know one thing in my gut. Al-Qaeda is here and waiting.” Well, we all know that much by now.

Are there no implications flowing from his own work (of which his publisher apparently approves)? Anyway, the Tenet quote is still a bombshell and worth the effort.
