SURPRISE, SURPRISE! CIA CHIEF PORTER GOSS RESIGNS

I expect it's because embarrassing details about Goss's involvement with the Watergate scandal are about to emerge.

Former Rep. Bob Barr agreed with Turner's speculation and added, "I think there's going to be more coming out, we don't know the whole story."

"This is a devastating blow, the importance of which really cannot be overestimated," Barr told CNN. "It indicates again a continuing downward slide in the intelligence capabilities of our government, it indicates again the disorganization on the part of our intellingence agencies at a time when we can ill afford to see that happen."

It doesn't strike me as devastating. Perhaps with Goss gone, the drain on experienced CIA leaders might cease, and reporters can sleep nights again.
