Tenet's tenure
Word is circulating within the upper levels of the Bush administration that CIA Director George J. Tenet will step down some time in the next several months. Mr. Tenet has been CIA director since 1997.

Among the names mentioned as replacements are Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage and Rep. Porter J. Goss, Florida Republican and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who, as a former CIA spook, has been one of the agency's most ardent defenders.

Former CIA Director R. James Woolsey also has been mentioned as a candidate, along with Richard Haver, a special assistant to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld for intelligence issues. A CIA spokesman says Mr. Tenet has no plans to quit.

GOOD RIDDENCE! Goss or Woolsey would be a good replacement.

NOT Porter Goss - he's as bad as any of them. As chairman, he didn't have the gumption to force Condit off of the House intel committee or investigate the reports of his suspiciously clandestine behavior that went beyond mere adultery.
