US agency head quits after reported Rumsfeld clash


The head of the U.S. intelligence agency that analyzes data from military spy satellites and U2 aircraft will leave his post in June, officials said on Friday.

The Baltimore Sun, which first reported Clapper's departure, said the NGA director was being forced out after angering Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on an issue involving intelligence reform.

The Sun quoted an unnamed former official as saying that Clapper earned Rumsfeld's ire in 2004 by telling Congress his agency would not be ill-served by the creation of a director of national intelligence, or DNI, a post created by post-September 11 reforms that was initially opposed by Pentagon officials.
