Porter Goss abruptly resigns as CIA chief

CIA chief Porter Goss, assigned to rebuild the U.S. spy agency after huge intelligence lapses over the September 11 attacks and Iraq, abruptly quit on Friday after less than two years on the job.

Goss was put in to that job with the specific task of reorganizing and straightening out the mess at the CIA, and from all accounts he had been doing a pretty good job of rattling the cages of the “good old boys”.

In the relatively short time he was on the job there is no doubt a lot left undone. The Chief is NOT optimistic that the clean-up job will continue.
