New charges against former CIA official

By ALLISON HOFFMAN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 23 minutes ago

SAN DIEGO - New charges have been filed alleging that a former top CIA official pushed a proposed $100 million government contract for his best friend in return for lavish vacations, private jet flights and a lucrative job offer.

The indictment, returned Thursday, replaces charges brought in February against Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, who resigned from the spy agency a year ago, and Poway-based defense contractor Brent Wilkes. The charges grew from the bribery scandal that landed former U.S. Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham in prison.

The pair now face 30 wide-ranging counts of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering.

According to the new indictment, Foggo provided Wilkes with "sensitive, internal information related to our national security," including classified information, to help him prepare proposals for providing undercover flights for the CIA under the guise of a civil aviation company and armored vehicles for agency operations.

1. K&R. Former Executive Director of the CIA = 30 wide-ranging counts of fraud, conspiracy and ....

Is this how they "grease" the war effort?

"...Foggo offered to "use some 'EXDIR grease'" on Wilkes' behalf. Foggo was the agency's executive director at the time..... in return, Wilkes offered to hire Foggo after he retired from government service. In the meantime, they say, he treated his friend to a Scottish golf trip during which they racked up a $44,000 hotel bill at the luxurious Pitcastle Estate."
