You're naive.
There's no doubt Woolsey is a true believer. Tenet is different. He's as smooth as Woolsey is difficult, and Woolsey was a disaster as DCI -- picking fights with Congress and irritating Clinton -- Tenet was the opposite, getting along with anyone. It's pretty clear from a number of sources, including those in the TNR article, that the "opinion" of the CIA is that the links between Iraq and AQ were weak. That "opinion" was documented. Then, under immense pressure from the White House, Tenet supplied another "opinion." If you opt to ignore where that "opinion" came from, and just look at the bottom line, you're naive.
