John Negroponte in, Condi Rice on the way out?

The director of national intelligence, John Negroponte, is expected to leave his "Nation's Top Spy" post to take the number two spot as Deputy Secretary to Condi Rice at the State Department. You can read it here. If you ask me, it sounds to me that Condi could be on her way out and John is slowly being moved into her spot, don't you?
