"John Negroponte, who took over the nation's intelligence community
after the twin lapses of Sept. 11 and Iraq, is leaving his post after
barely two years for the No. 2 job at the State Department, government
officials confirmed last night.

News of Negroponte's departure as director of national intelligence comes
as President George W. Bush is preparing to announce his new strategy for
Iraq in a speech expected early next week, though the reasons for the move
or its timing remained unclear last night."

Good cop (Rice) bad cop (Negroponte)?

If the sweet talking rice don't move you, dark sidious will be sent to grip
your throat from a distance....
