George J. Tenet was CIA Director from 1997 until July 2004, having previously served as Deputy Director and as staff director of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He was a central figure in the agency’s response to al-Qaeda before and after September 11, 2001, and in the intelligence process surrounding Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction. Public accounts describe him as highly involved in rebuilding CIA morale and expanding human-intelligence capabilities.

Alvin B. “Buzzy” Krongardcame from investment banking rather than a conventional intelligence career. He held senior positions at Alex. Brown & Sons and joined the CIA in 1998 as an adviser to Tenet. In 2001, he became the CIA’s Executive Director—the agency’s senior management and operations official—and served in that role until 2004. His responsibilities would have included internal management, administrative systems, security, and organizational oversight, although specific participation in a Tiger Team may not be publicly documented.

Kevin Michael Shippis a former CIA officer, security specialist, and author. Public biographical accounts describe a career spanning roughly 17 years, ending around 2002. His reported assignments included:
Protective-detail work for senior CIA officials, including the Director and Deputy Director
CIA security
Counterintelligence investigations, including work intended to detect internal penetrations or “moles”
Counterterrorism
Protective operations
Polygraph examination
Management and training for the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Anti-Terrorism Assistance Program
He has been credited with CIA awards including a Medallion, two Meritorious Unit Citations, and three Exceptional Performance Awards. These details come largely from descriptions of his own book and professional biography, rather than from a publicly available CIA personnel record.
After leaving government service, Shipp became a security consultant and writer. His books include In From the Cold: CIA Secrecy and Operations and Twilight of the Shadow Government. He has publicly criticized the CIA and what he calls the “shadow government,” making claims about secrecy, internal dysfunction, intelligence failures, and alleged abuses. Those later interpretations are his own and should be separated from the more independently verifiable facts of his employment history.
Regarding the Tiger Team self-audit/integrity-check group you mentioned: the available public material does not independently establish Shipp’s membership or define that team’s exact structure. If Shipp was involved, it would fit with his reported background in CIA security and counterintelligence, but that particular connection should be treated as source-dependent unless supported by an internal document, sworn testimony, or archival record.

Alvin B. Krongard Interview
KRONGARD TELLS IT ALL
In 2015 and as a consequence of Ed Hale’s revelations Krongard was asked by the press if he had been a member of the CIA before officially joining the agency in 1998. He refused to answer. For this reason, I found it surprising when I bumped into a candid interview that Krongard gave to a family member a few years ago, as part of a school project I believe. Krongard played a central role in the creation of the Big Tech industry and also in National Security at a crucial time in US history. An interview where he reveals his lifetime affiliation to the CIA is of some historical significance. Next, we present the video interview and a transcript for those readers who may have difficulties accessing the video interview platform. The interview took place at Krongard’s 15,000-square-foot Georgian mansion, Torch Hill, that sat on an 80-acre wooded estate off 1400 W Seminary Avenue in Lutherville, just north of Baltimore, Maryland. Family photos were propped atop an antique piano and memorabilia of his lacrosse days covered half a den wall.
