Former CIA Chief Joins Qinetiq

Hans Kundnani writes on The Guardian.co.uk:

Qinetiq, the controversially privatised British defence and security technology company, has appointed George Tenet - the CIA chief at the time of 9/11 - as a non-executive director.

Mr. Tenet was widely criticised for intelligence failures in the period before the September 11 terrorist attacks and in the run-up to the Iraq war.

According to Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward's book Plan of Attack, Mr Tenet told President Bush it was a "slam dunk" that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.
