CNN website says Poindexter will resign soon.

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Retired Adm. John Poindexter, who created a firestorm this week with his plan to create a futures market that would capitalize on predicting terror attacks, will resign in coming weeks from his post at the Pentagon, a senior defense official said Thursday.

The official said the research that Poindexter and his Total Information Awareness program (TIA) were conducting had become just too "unorthodox."

Poindexter, a central figure in the Iran-Contra scandal during the Reagan administration, had been causing a stir since he returned to the Pentagon in 2002 to head up the TIA research program to track terrorist activity.

But calls for his resignation intensified this week after his latest project -- which would have allowed investors to profit by correctly predicting terrorist attacks, assassinations and overthrows of regimes."
