So I guess the sacking of Porter Goss had nothing to do with Hookergate.
From Newsweek …
Foggo’s troubles may help to explain Porter Goss’s sudden departure from the agency earlier this month. According to sources close to Goss and the White House, who would not be named talking about private conversations, administration officials had been pressuring Goss to get rid of Foggo. But Goss resisted. It was a risky stand to take. For months, former and current intel officials had privately complained to the White House that the CIA was suffering under Goss’s poor management. Goss’s resistance to firing Foggo, despite the investigation closing in on him, made top administration officials, including National Intelligence Director John Negroponte, lose faith in Goss’s judgment.
This was obvious on day one, notwithstanding the ‘turf war’ spin. That’s not to say they’re aren’t struggles over power and institutional precedence in the IC. But Goss went down because of Foggo’s role in Hookergate and the Wilkes-Cunningham investigation.
