Tenet (CIA) and "The Jews" & Jay Pollard

Among other things, is this why Jonathan Pollard's release was sabotaged at Wye Plantation? (see here, for example, and also here)

George Tenet, Drunk in Bandar's Pool, Screaming about Jews

where Jeffrey Goldberg relates that in

Patrick Tyler's forthcoming book, A World of Trouble, about America's tortured relations with the Middle East, and the prologue contains this whopper of a scene, one that is quite devastating, if true: An enraged George Tenet, drunk on scotch, flailing about Prince Bandar's Riyadh pool..."According to one witness, he mocked the neoconservatives in the Bush administration and their alignment with the right wing of Israel's political establishment, referring to them with exasperation as, "the Jews."

Tyler reports in a footnote that, when asked, Tenet initially denied staying at Prince Bandar's palace, then denied that he had said anything in the pool.

Isn't Tenet the guy who called Iraqi WMD a slam-dunk?

Looks like he topped that with a slam, drunk.
