Cunningham Scandal Widens to CIA `

From Reuters.com: Feds search former CIA No. 3's home, office.

The official in quesiton is former executive director of the Agency, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo. The investigators include:

The investigations involve his suspected steering of contracts to one Brent Wilkes. And maybe some bribery... possibly involving prostitues at Watergate. No, but really, how close were they?

Foggo and Wilkes attended school together at Hilltop High in Chula Vista and San Diego State University, served as best men in each other's weddings and named their sons after each other.

After Foggo joined the CIA in 1982, Wilkes often visited him on Foggo's overseas assignments. Even before the CIA removed Foggo's undercover status last year, Wilkes and Foggo boasted to acquaintances about Foggo's secretive work.

At ADCS corporate headquarters, Wilkes set aside an office next to his executive suite where Foggo could work when he leaves the CIA, according to several former ADCS employees and business associates.


Remarkably, Foggo just retired on Monday, all of 1 business day after CIA Directory Porter Goss slipped in his "Friday surprise" resignation. Wow, these are the guys we have directing and day-to-day running our (officially about) 33,000-person foreign intelligence operation. Coincidence?
