In 2000, John Brennan was serving as the Chief of Staff to the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), George Tenet. He held this position from 1999 to 2001.
Brennan's career leading up to his role in 2000:
- 1996–1999: Before becoming Tenet's Chief of Staff, Brennan was the CIA's Chief of Station in Saudi Arabia.
- 2001–2003: After his tenure as Chief of Staff concluded, he became the CIA's Deputy Executive Director.
We all know it wasn't the entire Saudi Government John. What we all want to know is how you allowed so many incidents in the region to happen during your tour there. We also would like for everyone to know how you and the people you left in charge after getting promoted vetted the highjackers who committed 911. We also find it insulting Obama made you CIA Director after you failed so miserably at your job previously. We also would like to know if Hillary nominated you for the job behind closed doors being he worked for her husband or did Obama insist.
John Brennan worries the classified information would unfairly taint the Saudis.

Releasing a classified section of the congressional investigation into the Sept. 11, 2001,
terrorist attacks on the United States would be a mistake, according to
Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan.
There is a growing debate on whether to declassify 28 pages of the 2002 report, but Brennan said a reason to keep them under wraps is they contain "unvetted information" that some could use to unfairly implicate Saudi Arabia in the terror attacks.
Brennan argued on NBC’s "Meet the Press” Sunday that the independent
9/11 commission followed up on the information in the 2002 report from the House and Senate intelligence committees and found no links between the Saudi government and the terrorists.
"I think some people may seize upon that uncorroborated, unvetted information that was in there that was basically just a collation of this information that came out of
FBI files, and to point to Saudi involvement, which I think would be very, very inaccurate," Brennan said.
