Insider reports have revealed that the top American Spy Chief, Dennis Blair has resigned over intelligence failures which led to Christmas Day Attack and the foiled Time Square Bombing. Director U.S. National Intelligence also confirmed that he will step down any moment. He was guilty within himself and was saddened that the intelligence agencies failed under his regime.
It is also heard that President Barack Obama has lost faith in the man he selected for the top spy agency. He had appointed the retired navy man to overhaul the intelligence network and correct the working of CIA. The President had also asked him to grill the CIA’s torture cell as various media reported of strong torture amongst prisoners.
Mr. Blair was appointed as the Director of National Intelligence, being the third to take the position. The agency was to lead sixteen other spy agencies, monitor them, and guide them to correct working.
Being questioned and criticized a lot by various media and politicians, he took the decision and in a surprise statement last night, he announced with deep regret that he was quitting. It is also told that Mr. Blair met the President at the White House and conveyed his message of quitting, whereas Mr. Obama has accepted his resignation.
An official also revealed:
“We have been interviewing several strong candidates to be his replacement.”
