The recently appointed head of the Directorate of Operations (spy side of the CIA)Stephen Kappes turned in his resignation because he didn't want to be bossed around by a guy Goss brought in to help him, Patrick Murray. Murray may have overplayed his hand.

Kappes is a person who can recruit agents. He is a professional who came into the CIA from the Marines. He speaks Russian and Farsi. He ran a Russian intelligence officer, a linguist, who spoke an African language. He probably also recruited others, but this guy was finally caught by the Russians so we know about it.

The White House asked Kappes not to resign.

I predict that Goss will have to put a leash in his underling Patrick Murray. Murray didn't do too well when he worked at the CIA and is now back trying to lord it over others because of his patron.

Your example of Kappes is what concerns me, that Murray may be alienating the good guys, and they will leave, and the rotten apples, who should be fired are the ones, who will just lay low and survive.
