U.S. News and World Report says that former CIA Director, Porter Goss, was given less than a day to pack his bags by Josh Bolten.
...insiders say that the decision to dump Goss came hard and fast. One says that Goss revealed to his senior staff on Friday that Bolten had called him last Thursday night to ask if he had "thought through an exit strategy."
On Friday morning, Bolten made a second call to demand Goss's resignation that day, which he gave.
Isn't this is at odds with the official story that Goss' departure was planned through for weeks or months?
One wonders how Goss replied to Bolten's question about an exit strategy.
Referring to Bush's praise of Goss during the departure announcement, the report says:
Some insiders view Bush's praise for Goss as part of an effort to offset stories that the director had been fired. Others say it was an attempt by the White House to make Goss look good so that his hiring less than two years ago isn't viewed as a mistake.
