Perle is still staying on as a member, just not as the chair.

REALLY bad move, in my opinion...we should've done whatever it took to make him stay on as chair.

I like Perle too. But I think his influence will remain strong, even though he is not the chair. It does empty some baggage for the Bush White House, and WH insiders said today that they were not upset with his resignation.
