Could George Tenet Be Bob Woodward's Source?
Could George Tenet Be Bob Woodward's Source?

I've heard some recent speculation that George Tenet might be Bob Woodward's source. I don't have any reason to think it is anything more than just that -- speculation -- but the possibility that it was Tenet is certainly interesting.

There are many who presume that Tenet was the original 1x2x6 leaker (that is, the one who told the Washington Post that two administration officials had leaked to six journalists), and there has also been much speculation that he has been cooperating with Fitzgerald all along. But Tenet is a slippery character whose loyalties are hard to pin down. To the best of my knowledge he's never denied anything, and during the time in question he most certainly had the requisite information.

So what do you think?

1. I thought Woodward said that this source had never spoken to
the GJ. Didn't Tenet? I was trying to find the list of who appeared....

2. That statement, if true, should subject Woodward to subpoena to the GJ.
If he is aware of a witness and knows that that witness never testified before the GJ, then he must be called before the GJ and forced to disclose that witness to the GJ in order that the Special Counsel and GJ can determine if the law was violated and national security was undermined, IMO.

4. Hasn't He Been Called?
My impression is that after first giving s deposition Woodward was going to have to appear before the GJ.

Welcome BTW
