Why did Goss resign?
It's been a whole day since his resignation was announced and I'm still no clearer on why exactly Goss resigned. There are plenty of theories and I just wanted to get a sense of what people here think is most likely.
Was Goss always just a "transitional figure" who would shake up the CIA, perhaps on ideological grounds, and then hand over control to someone like Hayden?
Was he just overwhelmed by his job, as he has previously suggested in interviews, leading President Bush to lose confidence in him?
Was he just unhappy with his reduced role after the creation of the National Director of Intelligence?
Was he forced to resign as a result of his possible involvement in the Duke Cunningham scandal, which was reported just days earlier?
Or was it something else altogether that I've overlooked?
