Yes, they share intelligence. For example, the "notorious 16 words" from
Bush's 2003 State of the union regarding Uranium from Africa were attributed
to the British Government (presumably MI6), not the CIA.

"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought
significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

As far as I understand it, the DCI (Director of Central Intelligence) serves
at the whim of the President. While Tenet was first appointed by the
previous administration, he could have been booted with the rest of them in
January of 2001, so Bush, in essence" reappointed him.
