"U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who has been a prominent voice as President Barack Obama attempts to overhaul U.S. surveillance, said Friday that he won’t seek re-election after his term ends this year.

“Wow, holy cow,” WWJ Lansing Bureau Chief Tim Skubick said upon hearing the news. ”This came out of absolutely no where.”

Rogers, a seven-term Republican, announced his plans during an interview on a Detroit radio station. The 50-year-old former FBI agent, who has been invited regularly to talk about national security issues on TV and radio, said he’ll serve out the end of his term and plans to start a national radio program.

“It’s a pretty rare opportunity,” Rogers said “They don’t come around every day.”"...via Free Rep.
