James Pavitt was Deputy Director of Operations (DDO) for the CIA, the second high-ranking CIA official until October 2004 when he retired early, after 31 years, citing personal reasons - leading to speculation that the resignations of himself and former Director George Tenet are possibly linked with the Iraq weapons of mass destruction or 9-11 intelligence issues.
When Bush put Porter Goss in charge of the agency, Pavitt reportedly opposed the internal reorganizations announced by Goss, on the ground that they might "do damage to a strategic effort that has produced excellent work on terrorism and a variety of other important issues."
