September 12, 2001 Meeting
Fox News
Former CIA Chief George Tenet writes in his just-released book that on the day after 9/11 he met with Pentagon adviser Richard Perle.
"He said to me, 'Iraq has to pay a price for what happened yesterday, they bear responsibility.'" But Bill Kristol notes in The Weekly Standard: "Richard Perle was in France on that day, unable to fly back after September 11. In fact Perle did not return to the United States until September 15."
This morning Tenet told NBC's "Today Show": "I may have been off by a couple of days. The encounter occurred. The conversation occurred."
But Perle "categorically denies" ever having mentioned Iraq to Tenet in the days after 9/11.
