“History is not a matter of hindsight and is not, in fact, always written by the victors”

Christopher Hitchens discussing George Tenet:
A highly irritating expression in Washington has it that “hindsight is always 20-20.” Would that it were so. History is not a matter of hindsight and is not, in fact, always written by the victors. In this case, a bogus history is being offered by a real loser whose hindsight is cockeyed and who had no foresight at all.
