WASHINGTON - CIA (news - web sites) Director George Tenet, who weathered storms over intelligence lapses about suspected weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (news - web sites) and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, has resigned, President Bush (news - web sites) said Thursday.
"I will miss him," Bush said.
Tenet came to the White House to inform Bush about his decision Wednesday night. "He told me he was resigning for personal reasons," Bush said. "I told him I'm sorry he's leaving. He's done a superb job on behalf of the American people."

Why today? Maybe the final straw was Al Gore calling "a personal friend" and "a good and decent man" in his speech at NYU last week.
eta: On a more serious note, this Q&A on the Washington Post's web site is probably as good to read on this as anything else out there.
