Porter Goss resigns as CIA director

He never should have been CIA Director in the first place:
Porter J. Goss abruptly resigned today as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, a post that had been diminished in the restructuring of the intelligence bureaucracy after the Sept. 11 attacks.

With Mr. Goss sitting next to him at the White House, President Bush said the director had offered his resignation this morning. "I've accepted it," Mr. Bush said... He did not mention a successor, but The Associated Press reported that a senior administration official said one could be chosen as soon as Monday.
Goss has his own reasons for resigning - so don't listen to those who say this is part of a "White House shakeup".
