Bolten said to push Goss's exit
Intelligence insiders say that former CIA Director Porter Goss was given less than a day to pack his bags by new White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten, who is moving swiftly to put a new and more aggressive face on the administration.
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.
