From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Richer was the associate deputy director of operations of the United States Central Intelligence Agency, the number two in command after the Director, Porter Goss. He took early retirement in September 2005, after only 10 months on the job, with reports that he "lacked confidence in the agency's leadership" [1] and had "operational issues."
A former Marine, he was with the agency for 35 years, and was the former chief of the CIA's Near East division.
