Kerry on Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer - Tenet's statement... leaves "a host of questions"...
Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts said on CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer" that Tenet's statement of responsibility leaves "a host of questions" unanswered.
"Making him the fall guy does not resolve the question or make go away the questions about the overall intelligence, and why the administration clearly had this political tug of war over the kind of information they were presenting America," Kerry said "That is only going to be answered by the White House."
Kerry said the issue will hurt confidence in U.S. intelligence during a future crisis.
"The question is, what about the future? What happens when they come to us and tell us, 'Well, now, this is what our intelligence tells us about Iran,' or 'This is what our intelligence tells us about Syria or North Korea'?" Kerry asked.
