Rice's Top Deputy to Leave State Department

Also the guy who helped turn the 9/11 commission into the Whitewash commission.

Rice's Top Deputy to Leave State Department:

"Deputy Secretary of State Robert B. Zoellick, one of the administration's most prominent figures in foreign and economic policy, said yesterday that he is resigning to join the Wall Street investment firm Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

Zoellick's interest in leaving his high-profile post had long been rumored, but it leaves a large hole in Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's foreign policy team. Zoellick spearheaded efforts to end the violence in Sudan's Darfur region and was the administration's main interlocutor in the delicate relationship between the United States and China."
