Here Is What A Repug Snitch-Bitch Looks Like - Disgusting

Former CIA third in command and indicted Cunningham bribery scandal co-conspirator Kyle “Dusty” Foggo is threatening to out agents, secret programs and Bush administration skeletons in an attempt to ward of a possible jail sentence on 30 counts of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering.

Prosecutors say Foggo has threatened “to expose the cover of virtually every CIA employee with whom he interacted and to divulge to the world some of our country’s most sensitive programs - even though this information has absolutely nothing to do with the charges he faces.”

Prosecutors also allege his lawyers are seeking to introduce classified evidence to “portray Foggo as a hero engaged in actions necessary to protect the public from terrorist acts” to gain sympathy from jurors.

Foggo’s efforts to disclose classified information are “a thinly disguised attempt to twist this straightforward case into a referendum on the global war on terror,” wrote prosecutors Valerie Chu, Jason Forge and Phillip L.B. Halpern in a court motion filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria.

The government wants U.S. District Judge James Cacheris to hold a closed hearing on whether the information is admissible at trial and if it is relevant to Foggo’s case.

Desperate much? It’s amusing to see the Bush administration panic on this one - especially after all their own thinly disguised attempts to make every issue they could think of a “a referendum on the global war on terror”. “Dusty” knows where the bodies are buried on everything from Negroponte’s South American death squads to Iraq procurement corruption and if he starts singing who knows where it could end.

But what’s truly revealing is the way Foggo only believes in national security up until the point where its his own neck on the line. How Republican of him.

1. Not surprising to some of us here, Foggo IS a longtime BFEE operative (inc BCCI)

You might be interested in this thread from last April. It cannot be repeated enough - BCCI has always been the blueprint to the BFEE's global fascist agenda.


Excerpt from thread....

>>>>>>
Not only is the UK Washington’s only ally that has always stayed the course, the rise of the people with shady background to the top of the US intelligence community during a neo-con rule also explains quite a lot. John Negroponte is remembered by many as the butcher of Honduras. But when he was the Director of National Intelligence, his deputy was also somehow connected to a scandal that spreads from Honduras to the Iran Contra scandal in the 1980s. When General Hayden, the former head of the National Security Agency (NSA) and Deputy Director National Intelligence, was nominated for the post of the Director of the CIA, a senior office bearer of the agency Kyle Dustin ‘Dusty’ Foggo was forced to step down.

His stated reason for resigning was that a new director should be able to choose his own deputies. However, Foggo was charged on February 13, 2007, with fraud and other offenses in the bribery case of convicted US Congressman Randy Cunningham. This indictment was superseded and expanded with an indictment returned on May 10, 2007, charging fraud, conspiracy, and money-laundering in relation to his dealings with defence contractor Brent Wilkes. Incidentally, when Hayden was the director of NSA, he hired the services of a Lieutenant General James C. King an employee of MZM, one of the companies at the heart of the Cunningham scandal. King worked for the then NSA director at the same floor as his and his work was widely unknown even inside the agency. He is known to have also indulged in the same bizarre bribing activities.

Another key figure in the scandal is businessman Brent Wilkes who worked in Honduras during the 1980s for a company accused by federal prosecutors of deep involvement in cocaine trafficking. That company was also deeply embroiled in the Iran Contra scandal. Unfortunately, during those days a similar problem linked to money-laundering and drug trafficking arose in Pakistan when the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) was seized on the same charges. The bank was alleged to have been involved in money-laundering of the narco trade related fortunes earned by many, including some Pakistani military officers during the Soviet Afghan war. Since Hayden assumed the charge of Director for Defence Policy and Arms Control, National Security Council, immediately after the culmination of the Contra affair where he stayed till July 1991, and in 1992 President Bush senior pardoned many of the central characters, he is supposed to have taken active part in the cover up of the entire sordid episode. If he is party today to any similar guns and drugs project, he and Negroponte certainly do get to gain a lot from the instability in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

This might be why Hayden rushed to Pakistan after Benazir Bhutto’s assassination to testify that it were indeed the Taliban who had perpetrated the crime, upon flimsy proof. Likewise, immediately after the election of Pakistan’s new prime minister, Negroponte rushed to Pakistan for arm twisting and coercing the new leadership to adopt a conciliatory stance towards the president.

7. So, maybe what he is threatening to reveal is the inner workings of *co.
Maybe we DO want to hear what he has to say.

9. That's right.....but, I highly doubt BushInc will ALLOW it to get that far.
One way or another he will get shut up.

6. Wouldnt that be treason?
I would think that just the threat of doing this would get him the same treatment as they gave Salim Hamdan.

11. Am I the only one left here with any sanity?
I hope he outs every operator and contractor of the criminal, extraconstitutional, illegal operations of the CIA.

He won't of course. No chance of it. This is a prosecutor's hit on pretty normal motions in a case of this kind (demanding discovery material the government would not surrender).

17. That's true - he has no integrity or dignity....but, he does know the BFEE players in the CIA.
He's been one of them for a few decades now.

18. It's not about the left now, is it?
It's about truth, justice and constitutional government.

The present regime is organized crime.

This guy should not be silenced; au contraire, he should be put under the maximum possible legal pressure until he sings.

Of course he has zero integrity. Please name someone in the CIA or spook complex occupying his pay level that has integrity. These are extraconstitutional, self-appointed organs of secret government. What do you think they are?
