After graduating from San Diego State University in 1977, Foggo worked for three years as a police officer in San Diego; while studying for a master's degree at the University of Southern California, he worked as an investigator for the Los Angeles district attorney's office. He entered the CIA in 1982
as a presidential management intern and became an officer in the Management General Service, a specialized secret element of the agency's Directorate of Administration. In the field, MG officers had unique powers that included handling a station's contracting and the authority to unilaterally sole-source
contracts well into hundreds of thousands of dollars. At CIA headquarters, MG officers were often deployed to other directorates in senior administrative positions, in some cases with contract authority.
According to current and former CIA officers who have worked closely with Foggo, before becoming executive director his postings included a stint at CIA headquarters in the late 1990s as chief of the Directorate of Science and Technology's Administrative Resource Center, which handles some contracting. From 2001 to 2004, as chief of the agency's regional support base in Frankfurt (which covers the Middle East, Africa, and Europe), Foggo was in a similar position to direct contracting
activity. And according to two intelligence sources who spoke with National Journal, one of Wilkes's corporations received at least one CIA contract -- to supply water to CIA personnel in Iraq during the U.S. invasion in 2003.
At dinner last night, a knowledgeable friend told me that CIA Headquarters is buzzing about the Dusty "water" affair, with genuine concern that he may be forced to resign because of the perceived, if not real, impropriety. And I thought the matter had fizzled. Not so I'm told. It is still alive within the bowels of CIA.
