Did he jump, or was he pushed — it’s the answer everyone in Washington wants to know. CIA Director George Tenet’s decision to leave his post has many in the intelligence community feeling that he is playing the fall guy for an Administration that failed to prevent September 11th and that pushed the idea that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction with evangelical zeal.

Now, on the eve of two reports expected to present even more damning evidence about the faulty intelligence used in the case for war, Tenet is headed out the door. In this election year, its left people wondering what affect his departure will have on the Bush White House and on the future of the nation’s intelligence community.
