		Stephen Kappes, the CIA's deputy director for operations, resigned from the agency in November 2004 after Patrick Murray -- a former Hill staffer who was serving as Goss' chief of staff at the CIA -- ordered him to fire his deputy, Michael Sulick.
		That the agency official would be held responsible if anything from the personnel file of the "newly appointed executive director" made it into the media.
