Chief of CIA's Counter-Terror Center Ousted - Los Angeles Times

Chief of CIA's Counter-Terror Center Ousted - Los Angeles Times: "WASHINGTON — The head of the CIA's counter-terrorism center was forced to step down Monday over concerns that he was not aggressive enough in leading the agency's pursuit of Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations, current and former intelligence officials said.

The sudden departure of Robert Grenier, who had held the position for about a year, was described by intelligence officials as part of an effort to reinvigorate counter-terrorism operations that have had mixed results during his tenure."
