CIA Director Porter Goss resigns. US President George W. Bush says that he "led ably." Although no reason is given, it is likely that Goss was dismissed over irreconcilable differences with his boss John Negroponte. Goss may also be implicated in a the Duke Cunningham poker party and prostitution scandal. Cunningham, an Ace F-4 fighter pilot from the Vietnam War, resigned from the House on November 28, 2005 after pleading guilty to accepting at least $2.4 million in bribes from military contractors. He also pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion. On March 3, 2006, he received a sentence of eight years and four months in prison. |
