An internal CIA investigation concluded that former CIA Director George Tenet and other top officials failed to allocate adequate resources to combat terrorism before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and should be held accountable, intelligence officials told The New York Times.
CIA Inspector General John Helgerson directed some of his sharpest criticism at Tenet and James Pavitt, the former deputy director of operations, according to a report in Friday's edition of the newspaper. Both left the agency last year. During their tenure, the agency was blamed for intelligence failures involving Iraq and the Sept. 11 attacks.
Last month, President Bush awarded Tenet the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor.

Maybe that medal is hush money.
