Small correction

In the original version of my piece about the PDB controversy, I said that Tenet briefed Bush in the oval office on August 6, 2001. As everyone knows, the President was in Texas on a month-long vacation. This fact actually makes the tale even more remarkable: Tenet found the topic of sufficient importance to fly to Texas to brief W personally. Why would he do so if the briefing paper consisted of (to use Condi's terminology) "historical" information?

My post will be re-written. I reserve the right to make corrections of style without notifying readers, but I'll 'fess up to significant errors of fact.
