Poindexter to Quit Pentagon Post Amid Controversy

t r u t h o u t - Poindexter To Resign Over Terror Bets Plan

Thursday 31 July 2003

WASHINGTON - John Poindexter, the retired Navy admiral who spearheaded two sharply criticized Pentagon projects, intends to resign from his Defense Department post within weeks, a senior U.S. defense official said on Thursday.
