George Tenet has been the director of central intelligence since 1997, time enough to have changed the Agency's culture. He has failed. He should go.
The security of the United States, which is so dependent on having accurate and timely intelligence, is not a Republican or a Democratic issue.
In most job interviews, people say they are looking for people skills and emotional intelligence. That's reasonable, but the question is, how do you define what that looks like?
I respect the audience's intelligence a lot, and that's why I don't try to go for the lowest common denominator.
If the presence of electricity can be made visible in any part of the circuit, I see no reason why intelligence may not be transmitted instantaneously by electricity.
I can't see what's wrong about assuming intelligence in your audience and what's bad news about being rewarded for assuming that.
Success in almost any field depends more on energy and drive than it does on intelligence. This explains why we have so many stupid leaders.

We don't really want to think that the artist is only very skilled, that he has merely devoted his life to perfecting a certain set of intelligible skills.
It's hard for anyone intelligent to be nonviolent. Everything in the universe does something when you start playing with his life, except the American Negro. He lays down and says, 'Beat me, daddy.'
