Yes, Geo Tenet. Same fellow who 'signed off' on Saddam's alleged Chem/Bio trailers and let Powell brief it at the UN.

| TWA 800: How the CIA Hijacked the FBI Investigation |
| 2016-06-14 |
| In a July 30, 1996, internal CIA memo, headlined "Hold the Press," a CIA analyst warned his unnamed superior of an impending FBI report on a likely missile strike. This was less than two weeks after the July 17 crash. After interviewing 144 witnesses, the FBI missile team insisted there was a "high probability" that a surface-to-air missile destroyed the airplane. According to the FBI report, the evidence was "overwhelming." The witnesses were "excellent" and their testimony "too consistent" for the cause to be anything other than a missile. From the beginning, the CIA's job was to make all talk of missiles go away. Less than two weeks after the crash, the CIA analyst boasted to his superior of how he discouraged the FBI from pursuing the missile angle. In fact, the FBI did not go public with this report at the time even though it had "only minor corrections left to make," and the CIA made sure it never would. Longtime readers may recall that, at the time, Debka was reporting that TWA 800 had been shot down by an Al Qaeda operative using a MANPAD. |

| #1 The CIA analyst did not seem overly worried. His boss, the newly-minted CIA director George Tenet, had already signed off on his theory... Yes, Geo Tenet. Same fellow who 'signed off' on Saddam's alleged Chem/Bio trailers and let Powell brief it at the UN. |
