I'm not sure it was a director, but he was definitely a higher up.
In any case, I'd be surprised if Panetta resigns, but you never know. However, with this publicity, I don't think even Obama would dare to reach out and touch him. Not yet, at least, until he has put his own totally glued-to-his-rump boy in the slot.
It was Colby..and he knew and was involved in a lot of dirt. His close Friend said he was killed because he was about to reveal something.
>> lets see....didn’t a CIA director die in a canoeing accident? <<
You’re probably thinking about Bill Colby, CIA director in the 1970’s, who died mysteriously while sailing alone on Chesapeake Bay about a dozen years ago.
But this incident was so long after Colby’s retirement that even the most imaginative conspiracy theorists haven’t been able to spin out a convincing narrative. Probably just a freak accident.
