Was Joel Surnow Forced Off 24?

The Wall Street Journal awhile back seemed to blame declining ratings for 24 on negative publicity surrounding creator Joel Surnow's outing as a conservative in a New Yorker hit piece last year.  Leftie show-runner Howard Gordon was lionized and liberally quoted by the WSJ -- no comments by Joel Surnow, who shortly thereafter announced he was leaving 24 to 'pursue other projects'.  Was Joel Surnow forced off the show he created?

From what I read and heard he left voluntarily. He wants to create new shows and seems to be "over" 24. After the writers strike he seemed to lost interest in the show and wanted to make a clean break. It's a shame, he is very talented!
