CIA Director Porter Goss resigned suddenly Friday, nudged out after a turmoil-filled 18 months at the spy agency as it struggled to forge a new identity in an era of intelligence blunders and government overhauls.
Goss offered little explanation in a brief appearance with President Bush, a televised address to agency personnel and a written statement.
"CIA remains the gold standard," he said. "When I came to CIA in September of 2004, I wanted to accomplish some very specific things, and we have made great strides on all fronts."
So what do we think?
Did Goss try to give Bush intelligence that did not match the inside information that God whispers in the Presidents ear as he slumbers peacefully at night?
Or did Goss simply get tired of being in charge of an agency that is blamed for everything that goes wrong in this country except the gas crisis, and that is being penciled in for next week?
Or possibly Peter Goss is sharp enough to notice that the floor of the White House is getting decidely damp and recognizes a sinking ship when he sees one.
But the fact that he is out before there has been any talk of who will head the countries most important intelligence gathering organization definitely makes one think that there is something screwy about to happen. Gee I wonder what it will be this time!
Update: Could this be it?
