"Wallace just said that Goss' resignation was "apparently forced". I've been out of the loop, is this true?"

This is the ritual "I can't stand Kristol" comment. He just said that Porter Goss was fired. I ask how does Kristol know this?
John McCain told him. John McCain knows everything, including what parts of the constitution should be ignored.

Kristol doesn't know squat. He places a lot more importance on himself and his knowledge than most others do.
I question whether the Pres would have sat in the oval office w Goss and said "he led ably", etc. and Goss said something like 'thank you for the trust you placed in me' if he had actually had been fired. I don't recall an oval office event like that happening when Paul O'Neill (former Sect'y of Treas) was asked to step down.
