[Edit: thanx Jeff, I forget there are other humans that dont have AOhelL [my vote for Fave Poster, btw]

This was just up on Drudge:

Bush said Thursday that he had accepted the resignation of CIA director George Tenet; deputy will temporarly lead ... 'He's been a strong and able leader at the agency. and I will miss him,' said Bush. 'I send my blessings to George and his family and look forward to working with him until he leaves the agency'... Tenet has been on job since July 1997...

Bush should have fired him a while ago.

He should have replaced him with his Dad! He's got the prior job experience! ;)

Tenet is a good guy but he had to go. At least this way he did it on his own terms.

If Bush gets reelected I'm guessing he'll name outgoing Rep. Porter Goss: the current House Intel Committee Chairman and a former CIA officer.

It worked for Rumsfeld!

Why would a senior senator take that job? That would be like Babe Ruth moving to Chicago after the 1919 "Black Sox" scandal. They'll find a governor somewhere or some senator who got voted out of office in the last few years. That seems to be their unemployment program anyway - hiring out of work conservative senators.

no. he doesn't have the credentials.

Rudy as Gov. of NY, attorney general, or even vice president, then yes.

Honestly, Bush Sr. would make a good DCI... again.

I had heard rumblings of this earlier in the week...and I'm still torn on it. I blame most of the situations our military (And country) are stuck in on the Agency, going well back into the Clinton years...and yet, Tent was actually fantastic for the Agency himself. I don't think there's been a Director that beloved by the Agency employees for decades...and he really did take great steps to re-structure the Agency for the future and get some new blood pumped in.

Ah well, it was all inevitable at this point.

And man, Bush Sr. would be GREAT. But Rudy would be a NIGHTMARE.

Looks like they decided to just bump up John McLaughlin for the time being... (http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/06/03/tenet.resigns/index.html)

I have to agree with this.

AND this.

Don't blame me....I voted for Kodos.
I look forward to an orderly election that will eliminate the need for a violent bloodbath. </center>

His last day is 11 July.

I've heard from some well-placed sources that some of Tenet's underlings will be bowing out as well.
