Bye Mr. Porter Goss

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- CIA director Porter Goss is resigning, President Bush announced on Friday.
Bush said Goss had given him candid advice and brought honor to the job.
"Porter's tenure at the CIA was one of transition," Bush said, "where he's helped this agency become integrated into the intelligence community, and that was a tough job."
"He's got a five-year plan to increase the number of analysts and operatives, which is going to help make this country a safer place and help us win the war on terror," the president said.
In an Oval Office photo session, Goss told Bush, "I believe the agency is on a very even keel, sailing well, I honestly believe that we have improved dramatically."

Perhaps it's because Goss was allegedly an attendee at Duke Cunningham's hooker parties?
