Tenet Remains Popular in Turbulent Times

George Tenet has presided over the two biggest U.S. intelligence failures since Pearl Harbor -- the Sept. 11 attacks and the flawed Iraq weapons assessments.

But the CIA director has a talent for remaining above the fray -- and remaining one of the most popular men in Washington in the process. NPR's Mary Louise Kelly reports.
