WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The head of the U.S. intelligence agency that analyzes data from military spy satellites and U2 aircraft will leave his post in June, officials said on Friday.

James Clapper, a retired Air Force general, will step down as director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency on June 13, three months short of his fifth anniversary as head of the defense department operation, officials said.

The Baltimore Sun, which first reported Clapper's departure, said the NGA director was being forced out after angering Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on an issue involving intelligence reform.

WAUSAU, Wis. - A woman shaking pepper onto her potato at a fast food restaurant had a startling discovery — metallic mercury came out — and a teenager is now charged with two felonies in the apparent prank, according to court records.

The discovery of mercury, which can cause health problems, in the food late last month prompted responses from firefighters and the county's hazardous materials team, authorities said.

No one was harmed in the Dec. 30 incident at a Wendy's in Weston in which liquid mercury spilled through the holes in the shaker. When the little balls it formed were rolled together, it amounted to about the size of pea, said Marathon County Emergency Planner Jerome Boettcher. No one ingested the substance.

Speaking of "last throes," I'm searching for this great list of audacious Cheney claims . . . from "last throes," "we know for a fact," "operational contacts," "I've never met you til now Mr. Edwards." It has about 10 more, with rebuttals and sources for the rebuttals, too . . . anybody seen that list?

Don't forget "war is peace," "ignorance is strength," and "freedom is slavery."
