Full text: The Worldwide Threat 2004: Challenges in a Changing Global Context. Testimony of Director of Central Intelligence, George J. Tenet, before the Senate Armed Services Committee, 9 March 2004. Notice this excerpt: "Beyond these groups are the so-called "foreign jihadists"-individuals ready to fight anywhere they believe Muslim lands are under attack by what they see as "infidel invaders." They draw on broad support networks, have wide appeal, and enjoy a growing sense of support (my italics) from Muslims who are not necessarily supporters of terrorism. The foreign jihadists see Iraq as a golden opportunity." First, notice how in passing he mentions that those radical fundamentalists are drawing on "a growing sense of support". Why was he not challenged as to why there is a growing sense of support? How and why did the support grow? Also, casually, he mentions Iraq becoming a "golden opportunity." So this confirms the fears of those of us who opposed the war before it even started.
