Porter Goss resigns. Remember him?
He's the crony that Bush appointed while attempting to secure the home front.
What he did instead is run off the some the most experienced intelligence operatives in the world in favor of Bush Company men.
"He had particularly poor relations with segments of the agency's powerful clandestine service. In a bleak assessment, California Rep. Jane Harman, the Intelligence Committee's top Democrat, recently said, 'The CIA is in a free fall,' noting that employees with a combined 300 years of experience have left or been pushed out" (LA Times).
Well, we still have Negroponte. Feel safer?
"When somebody sends me a blue dress and some DNA, I'll have an investigation."

The rats are jumping ship. I haven't checked, but this must be the shortest tenure for a director in the history of the agency. Was he just pissed about Negroponte usurping his position, or did he disagree w/ Bush?
