...TIME, delivered a carefully worded speech on Wednesday to the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington-based think tank. While the President has refused to say that his arms deals were an error in judgment, Bush declared, "Clearly, mistakes were made." He added, "Given 20/20 hindsight, call it a mistaken tactic if you want to." Carefully trying to be both loyal and politically prudent, Bush also had to worry about his own possible connections to the scandal.

The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) was a post created to provide streamlined control to 16 U.S. intelligence agencies after the failures that led to 9/11 and the mistaken assessments of Saddam Hussein's weaponry. Negroponte, 67, was the America's first DNI and his departure after little more than 20 months on the job is being viewed as a setback for America's beleaguered spy community and the continuity of leadership at the top that many believe...
