Mary Murphy, one of three CBS staff asked to resign in the wake of Memo-gate, has finally done so.

An excerpt from the AP story carried on washingtonpost.com:

A producer involved in CBS's discredited report on President Bush's National Guard service resigned Friday, nearly two months after an independent report criticized the handling of the story.

Mary Murphy, another producer and an executive were asked by CBS to leave because of the "60 Minutes Wednesday" report, but she was the first to do so. A third producer, Mary Mapes, was fired.

"CBS News and I have reached an amicable resolution, and I have resigned my position," Murphy said in a statement.

She said she wished "my good colleagues well" and looked forward to moving on in her career.

Murphy and "60 Minutes Wednesday" executive producer Josh Howard were asked to resign after an independent panel found they rushed the Bush report to the air without proper checks. CBS News senior vice president Betsy West also was asked to give up her job.
