Everything I posted in #748 is a fact - NOT an insinuation. The only insinuation is that those FACTS are related to the resignation. And I've acknowledged, over and over, that it is speculation whether those FACTS relate to the resignation. But I haven't seen anyone post FACTS that are more likely to be related to a sudden resignation on a Friday afternoon by a guy whose name has cropped up in the news recently as being related to a burgeoning investigation.
A malicious insinuation at that, but at least you acknowledge this much.

FACT: You don't know that this resignation is sudden. The AP report names three possible successors, which is a strong indication that this has been in the works for awhile. Verbatim from the AP report:
Among those talked about as possible replacements are Bush's homeland security adviser, Frances Fragos Townsend; David Shedd, chief of staff to National Intelligence Director John Negroponte, and Mary Margaret Graham, Negroponte's deputy for intelligence collection.
FACT: There are multiple other possible reasons for Goss' resignation. The most like reason according to all the reports I've read and heard so far is that the job of CIA director is no longer what it used to be. Negroponte has essentially absorbed much of the scope of CIA director into his own position.
