    I have recently learned of some ludicrous allegations which are set to appear in a book to be published in the next few days.

    According to internet accounts, Patrick Tyler, in his forthcoming book, alleges that in mid-2004 I was heard to have made alcohol- fueled, denigrating comments about members of the Bush Administration and “the Jews.” This is completely false.

    Tyler approached me in June of 2007 with this bogus story. Initially he told me that his sources told him that I was allegedly staying at Prince Bandar’s home in Riyadh alone when the supposed incident happened. I informed him that I had never stayed at Bandar’s home alone and on the date in question was accompanied by two senior U.S. intelligence officials and my full contingent of security staff.

    I arranged for both of the senior officials, Scott Muller (the then- General Counsel of the CIA) and Rob Richer (the then-Chief of CIA’s Near East Division) contact Tyler. They both informed Tyler, as I had previously said, that they were with me that evening and no such incident happened.

    I am at a loss to explain why Mr. Tyler would recount this story when all the senior U.S. officials who were present that evening have told him on-the-record that it did not happen.

    Attached is a statement from a spokesman for His Royal Highness, Prince Bandar, who also says the incident did not happen. Everyone who was in the room that night has now categorically denied the substance of Mr. Tyler’s assertion.

    Rumors sell books.

    However; the CIA director should NOT be staying in the home of anyone who may influence decision making and certainly the country that gave the world Wahabbi Jihadists – which Tenet should have been actively investigating.

    His admission is a sign of poor judgment (besides the famous laptop security breach).

    Yeah, the Liberals try to tar & feather Tenet for a supposed rant that no one heard but for real taped racist hate messages by Obama’s preacher Wright (for 20 years no less) that millions of people heard on Rush & Sean the Liberals could care less and don’t denounce either Wright or Obama. Shows you the real hypocrasy of the Liberals. When the Liberals want to be heard, they always bring the Jews into the mix. A very low stunt.

    He is pushing to much that it didn’t happen, if it really didn’t happen then he wouldn’t need a statment from a spokesman for His Royal Highness, Prince Bandar! & he wouldn’t have those 2 agents say anything either! & also what? This is totally not on path?! Somthings wrong! Its doesn’t smell right!

    #2 , certain; how right you are.
    If it ain’t true no need to deny. (Dr. Hillel Zeidman used to say this constantly.)
