Although Clinton had to replace 7 of 15 cabinet members during his second term, it strikes me as interesting those among the Bush administration that are leaving.

Cabinet
Secretary of State Colin Powell
Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman
Education Secretary Rod Paige
Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham
Attorney General John Ashcroft
Secretary of Commerce Don Evans

CIA
Director, George Tenet
Deputy director of Operations, Stephen R. Kappes
Deputy Director John E. McLaughlin
CIA officer Mike Scheuer (of Imperial Hubris fame)

More senior CIA agents are bound to leave as Gross has rejected the advice of four former directors.

All of this leads me to wonder why so many are leaving. I realize the CIA is a separate issue in some ways. I believe they are related because the management style is similar.

Anywho, just my random thought of the day.
