CIA Chief Porter Goss Resigns

This breaking news comes as a surprise...Goss was "cleaning house" at the CIA (Item No. 1: the ousting of leaker Mary McCarthy).

The President and Goss are announcing the news at the White House as I write. Above is a link to the "live thread" conveying and reacting to the news at Free Republic.

I suspect we'll be learning more background to this unexpected news over the coming weekend.

Update: General Michael Hayden is expected to be named as the new head of the CIA. The Washington Post provides details on the change in leadership.
