Chief of CIA's Investment Group Resigns (Something large going on)

[TomInTib]

WASHINGTON (AP) - The new chief of the CIA's venture capital organization, In-Q-Tel, has resigned after just four months on the job.

Amit Yoran, who was the government's cybersecurity chief until he left that job in 2004, said Monday he stepped down for personal reasons.

The role of In-Q-Tel's chief executive requires significant travel, and Yoran and his wife - a U.S. government lawyer - have three young daughters.

Yoran said he agreed with In-Q-Tel's board to continue working as a consultant and adviser.

In-Q-Tel - named for "Q," the fictional inventor of spy tools and toys for James Bond - makes about a dozen such investments annually with roughly $60 million it receives from the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the FBI and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

2. I'm betting this will not see the light of day. In-Q-Tel is too scary

for your average Murikan.

3. Hmmm.

Wonder who he'll be consulting for now. This guy also left his job as head of DHS's National Cyber Security Division in 2004 after a year on the job. We'll probably never know the real reason. And hey - look who's the top contender to take over: "Mark Frantz, who left Carlyle Venture Partners for a position at In-Q-Tel in mid-March, is likely to be a top contender for the job." What do you think is going on?

4. My guess and a guess only is Amit Yoran is fairly principled whereas

In-Q-Tel is anything but.....

5. MOVE ALONG. Now.

There is nothing to see here, per order of your High Imperial Republicon Government.

Homeland Security propaganda officers will take care of this.

So sit down, shut the fuck up, and eat your genetially mutant choco-rations.

Citizens are only entitled to the rights Big Republicon Government grants to them.

By the way, don't forget: Big BushCo loves you.
