"James Pavitt, deputy director for operations, is said to have made the decision some weeks ago.

The departures come as the agency is braced for reports expected to criticise its conduct in the run-up to the 9/11 attacks and the war in Iraq.

The CIA says Mr Pavitt's decision was unconnected with Mr Tenet's departure.

But analysts say the move will mean more upheaval at a critical time for the agency."

Interesting. Personal reasons? I'm sure mr. Tenet!

1. Actually This Is True

Pavitt submitted his resignation a month or two ago.

My only question is if Rove will appoint a lackey with experience in using a paper shredder.

2. Has the evangelical wing of the RNC voiced an opinion on a new DCI?

They would choose someone to enable their favorite bible stories - Armageddon and the Rapture.

Rove could mine the Heritage Foundation for resumes as was done to staff the rebuilding of Iraq jobs.

Has any incumbent Repub recently been dumped or fired for incompetence? That is another (cess) pool Rove could dip into for candidates.
