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" 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.
He is currently employed at Blackwater USA as the Director of Intelligence. In 2007 Richer created Total Intelligence Solutions, Inc. with Matthew Devost, Co-founder and President of Terrorism Research Center, which as said by Richer "is about delivering evolved intelligence and security solutions to the world's most demanding customers." -WT

Executive summary: Coordinator for Counterterrorism, 2002-04
For twenty-eight years a CIA career employee, Black was sworn in 3 December 2002 to the ambassador-level position of State Department Coordinator for Counterterrorism, in part a public relations position. Among Black's earlier duties was hunting Osama bin Laden. He told CNN in 2003, "I guarantee you, this fellow will get caught like the rest of them."
Black's office came under fire when it grossly underestimated the number of terrorist-caused deaths in 2003, with Richard Armitage holding a prominent press conference announcing that the U.S. was winning the war on terrorism. Congressman Henry Waxman and others disputed the report as obviously in error, stating "it appears that the decline in terrorism reported by the State Department results from manipulation of the data, not an actual decline in terrorism incidents. This manipulation may serve the administration's political interests, but it calls into serious doubt the integrity of the report." Waxman was correct. A revised report released on 22 June 2004 to the Administration's great embarassment raised the number of deaths from 307 to 625.
In 2002, he famously stated: "There was before 9/11 and after 9/11. After 9/11, the gloves come off."
