No 3 @ CIA Subject of Investigation Related to Bribery Probe
Exclusive: Top CIA Official Under Investigation
No. 3 Official at CIA Is Subject of Investigation Related to Bribery Probe

By BRIAN ROSS, RICHARD ESPOSITO and RHONDA SCHWARTZ


March 3, 2006 — - A stunning investigation of bribery and corruption in Congress has spread to the CIA, ABC News has learned.

The CIA inspector general has opened an investigation into the spy agency's executive director, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, and his connections to two defense contractors accused of bribing a member of Congress and Pentagon officials.


The CIA released an official statement on the matter to ABC News, saying: "It is standard practice for CIA's Office of Inspector General -- an aggressive, independent watchdog -- to look into assertions that mention agency officers. That should in no way be seen as lending credibility to any allegation.

"Mr. Foggo has overseen many contracts in his decades of public service. He reaffirms that they were properly awarded and administered."

I read here (I believe) recently that Porter Goss pulled Foggo out of a lower level position. There was speculation that Goss might be connected to the GOP Prositution Scandal. Does anyone have more info regarding this?

1. "GOP Prostitution Scandal"
Oh please make it so?!? Was this Foggo character one of the political hacks that Goss brought with him to gut the QUALITY and EXPERIENCED CIA people out of sight? These political hacks call everyone who has the capacity for critical analysis that ranks above Right Wing loyalties, um Democrats within the CIA. I hope that they haven't gutted it too much. :(

Oh yes, even the whorish BushBotBorg a** kissing Corporate media can't pass up a true SEX SCANDAL.

:woohoo:
