Topic: George Tenet

A news clip featuring CIA Director George Tenet is played, followed by a report on the agency's failure to predict India's nuclear tests. The hosts criticize the $27 billion spy budget for over-relying on hardware and satellites rather than human intelligence.

The joint congressional inquiry into intelligence lapses is dismissed as a sham because key figures like Bob Graham and George Tenet are members of the Council on Foreign Relations. Arlen Specter is criticized for advocating for more FBI funding despite the agency's alleged failures. The hosts claim the public hearings are scripted rehearsals designed to protect government assets.
