After Comments, U.S. Terror Chief Resigns

Well, I guess we can take comfort in the fact the Bush administration hasn't yet resorted to "disappearing" people who aren't sheep.

This is just so fucking funny at this point. If anyone questions anything the administration has done they suddenly are demoted or "retire". This is probably the most obvious part of the administration which is patently transparent.

Three days after Americans saw the Bush administration's counterterrorism chief say the Iraq war has likely not made the United States safer from terrorism, the official announced his resignation, citing health reasons.

In an e-mail sent to his staff Wednesday afternoon, Adm. Scott Redd, head of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), said he was stepping down to "take care of some long-delayed surgery that I can no longer neglect." [emphasis mine]

Yeah, long delayed, but now imperative. Hahaha.
