Yahoo offers other reasons for departure courtesy of Wonkette...if you can read it, that is. They stuck it up there so quickly, code was screwed up, it seems.
CIA chief Porter Goss abruptly resigned after less than two years on the job, and President George W. Bush thanked him for his candid advice during a time of transition.
Neither man explained why Goss was leaving and no replacement was announced.
Porter Goss has resigned from his position as CIA director, and no one knows why?
No, some people know why.
CIA chief Porter Goss, assigned to rebuild the U.S. spy agency after the twin intelligence breakdowns of September 11 and Iraq, quit under pressure on Friday after less than two years on the job.
President George W. Bush gave no explanation for the move, which a senior administration official said Bush had been discussing with Goss' boss, national intelligence director John Negroponte, for the last few weeks.
No replacement was named for Goss, who has come under fire inside and outside the agency during a difficult tenure. But an administration official said Negroponte could recommend a successor as early as Monday.
Let's not forget that he has a long laundry list of crap he's been involved with ever since his controversial nomination, including his potential involvement in the most recent scandal: Hookergate. There's speculation that he's running because of a statement made by Ken Silverstein in Harper's Magazine that implicates him.
The Journal also suggested that other lawmakers might be implicated. I've learned from a well-connected source that those under intense scrutiny by the FBI are current and former lawmakers on Defense and Intelligence committees--including one person who now holds a powerful intelligence post.
The biggest scandal to shake up DC since Watergate and Deep Throat...yeah, I'd be running, too, if the cat was out of the bag. It just can't be that coincidental that people are
If it is, then I am also the Queen of England, and let me tell you...my British accent is less than spectacular. Scott McClellan will vouch for me, just like he did for Bush's Spanish.
