Bingaman calls for head of defense agency to resign

(AP) – New Mexico Senator Jeff Bingaman wants the head of a Pentagon agency that’s under fire from members of Congress to resign.

The agency is called the Defense Advanced Research Agency. It planned to set up a futures market that would have allowed traders to profit from accurate predictions on terrorism, assassinations and other events in the Middle East.

The agency is headed by Admiral John Poindexter. Bingaman says Poindexter should step down because under his leadership, the agency has developed a trading market in terrorism.

3. AP error

Poindexter is not the head of DARPA. He's just some kind of program director there.
