Kiriakou was Tenet’s note taker when Franks finished his briefing with the line: “If all goes well, we can be in Tehran by August.” Tenet muted the mic, turned, and asked, “Did he say Tehran or Baghdad?”—then whispered, “Have these people lost their minds?” From the pre-set decision to invade, to secrecy agreements on the 6th floor at Langley, to the plan to shift U.S. air assets out of Saudi Arabia after regime change—this is the part you’re not meant to hear. #podcastclips #story #cia
