Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Ex-CIA agent Larry Johnson passes on some insider dirt on the Porter Goss resignation that seems like a reasonable explanation. The short version? It wasn't Goss (or Foggo) galavanting with lobbyist-provided prostitutes, but a key staff member is "highly likely" to have participated.
TrackBackThe man's name is actually Foggo; I think "Froggo" comes from Johnson thinking about the Plame case a lot.

Maybe Goss (or Bush or someone else) decided they've done enough damage to the CIA and think it wise for Goss to step down before more good people leave, so that a meaningful CIA will exist as a check to military intelligence?
