Mike D'Andrea, CIA Chief of the Iran Section forced to retire after 38 years of kicking ass and taking names in defense of our country.
"The CIA’s Iran chief, described by his colleagues as “legendary,” is being forced to retire as the center he oversees is folded back into the agency’s larger Middle East division, according to former CIA officials.
The official, Mike D’Andrea — nicknamed the “Dark Lord” or “Prince of Darkness” and known by the undercover name “Roger”— had been granted waivers that allowed him to continue working at the CIA past the mandatory retirement age, according to former agency officials. But the agency declined his most recent retirement exception, according to these officials. D’Andrea’s retirement was first reported by the New York Times."

I'm so thankful that he stood watch over us during his tenure. A most interesting career. Hopefully there will be a biography forthcoming in the future.
