Open Letter To George Tenent

Former intelligence officers with the CIA have written an open letter to George Tenent asking him to donate half his royalties to wounded veterans and their families. Had he spoken up sooner he could have prevented the death and wounding of these fine men and women.

The letter begins:

We write to you on the occasion of the release of your book, At the Center
of the Storm. You are on the record complaining about the “damage to your
reputation”. In our view the damage to your reputation is inconsequential
compared to the harm your actions have caused for the U.S. soldiers engaged in
combat in Iraq and the national security of the United States. We believe you
have a moral obligation to return the Medal of Freedom you received from
President George Bush. We also call for you to dedicate a significant percentage
of the royalties from your book to the U.S. soldiers and their families who have
been killed and wounded in Iraq.
