Negroponte leaves office "after only 19 months and with mixed reviews." A new intelligence bureaucracy was "created to solve the problems laid bare after the Sept. 11 attacks"; however, "Negroponte barely had time to get it running."

Current and former officials speaking on condition of anonymity "said the inquiry was being overseen by Robert L. Deitz, a trusted aide to the C.I.A. director and a lawyer who served as general counsel at the National Security Agency when General Hayden ran it. Michael Morrell, the agency’s associate deputy director, is another member of the group, officials said."
