Porter Goss resigns as DCI (Updated & Bumped -- Twice)

Allahpundit was all over the story before I even knew about it and continues to stay right on top of it.

Dafydd ab Hugh has some very interesting thoughts on the matter here.

Ed Morrissey reacts here, including predicting Goss's replacement.

Stop The ACLU has more here.

Michelle Malkin: '"Resigns?" Or something else?'

Expose the Left has video of the announcement here.

***

Time says Captain Ed's prediction is wrong. I like theirs a lot better.

***

Ed Morrissey has more information about the likely candidates here.  I'm more optimistic than he is that Bush will appoint the most qualified person instead of just the easiest one to get confirmed.

Curt has a good related post at Flopping Aces.


John Hinderaker: The Briar Patch, Please! 

Dafydd ab Hugh:  "But Hayden Can't Be Confirmed!" 

Allahpundit has added several updates to his post here.

Greyhawk: A New Sheriff in Town?

Ed Morrissey:

Hayden May Have Helped Goss Out The Door

Be Careful What You Wish For 

The Spectre of Specter Descends On Hayden 

For now I'm betting on, and hoping for, General Hayden, for reasons explained in the Hinderaker and ab Hugh posts.


Blackfive has two good related posts here and here. Don't miss the comments while you're there.

Allahpundit has video here of Congressman Pete Hoekstra, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, objecting to the notion of putting a military officer in charge of CIA. That's food for thought.

Ed Morrissey: The Hayden Flier Hits Serious Turbulence 

The fact Senator "What 1st Amendment?" McCain likes him bothers me a little.

Dafydd ab Hugh: Simple Solution To a Weird Objection.

John Hinderacker: No Generals Need Apply?
