| State Department Counterterror Chief Quits |

| The first domino... J. Cofer Black, the State Department official in charge of counterterrorism, is leaving government in the next few weeks. Black's departure will end a 30-year government career that was spent mostly in the CIA's operations office. Black had told State Department officials before this week's presidential election that he planned to resign whatever the outcome, spokesman Adam Ereli said Friday. He is the first senior department official to depart as President Bush weighs his personnel lineup across the government as he prepares for a second term. |
