Senior Pentagon official Stephen Cambone to resign
Fri Dec 1, 2006 8:38pm ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Stephen Cambone, the U.S. Defense Department's top intelligence official and a close aide to outgoing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, will resign on December 31, the Pentagon said on Friday.

Cambone has served as a senior aide to Rumsfeld since the start of the Bush administration in January 2001, and has held his current post, undersecretary for intelligence, since March 2003.

Rumsfeld's resignation was announced the day after the Republican defeat in the November 7 midterm elections. Rumsfeld will remain until his successor is confirmed. Former CIA Director Robert Gates has been nominated to fill that job.

6. Cambone was a big torture advocate, as I recall.

And he is/was a major PNACer.
