Somethin's goin' down... Goss' resignation smells like week-old mackerel in the fridge...

or, as we used to say, something's putrid in peru...

CIA Director Porter Goss resigned unexpectedly Friday, leaving behind a spy agency still battling to recover from the scars of intelligence failures before America's worst terrorist attack and faulty information that formed the U.S. rationale for invading Iraq.

my hunch is that this is the start of something really big... bush didn't nominate goss and get him approved all that long ago so you can bet he's hightailing it outta there for a damn good reason... now, what that reason is will be MIGHTY interesting when it finally crawls out from under its rock...
