| CIA's Foggo Expected to Resign Soon | |
| 2006-05-08 | |
| Brian Ross and Richard Esposito Report: Dusty Foggo, the executive director of the CIA linked to a bribery investigation, is expected to resign soon, according to CIA officials and his associates. Outgoing CIA Director Porter Goss had refused to remove Foggo from his powerful post after Foggo came under investigation by the FBI and the CIA Inspector General. A CIA official said Foggo's resignation would be "pretty normal" following the resignation of Goss as Director. The choice of Foggo to run the agency's day-to-day activities has been cited as an example of Goss' mismanagement of the spy agency. Before being handpicked by Goss, Foggo had been written up for insubordination by his supervisor, the highest ranking African American woman in the CIA. A CIA official confirmed the incident but said the insubordination report was never formally filed. The supervisor, Jeanette Moore, resigned shortly after Foggo was promoted by Goss. Foggo recently admitted that he attended Washington, D.C. poker parties that figure in a widening corruption scandal involving a defense contractor, Brent Wilkes, who is a longtime friend of Foggo. Federal officials are investigating whether Wilkes also provided prostitutes at the parties. Foggo has denied seeing any prostitutes at the parties he attended.
The FBI and the CIA Inspector General are both investigating whether any of the CIA contracts awarded to Wilkes were handled improperly. Foggo has strongly denied any impropriety involving CIA contracts. | |

| #19 Been there, done that, don't want to do it again. I'll stay here in Colorado Springs, in the "field office", and, uh, do whatever I do... (I spent a decade one year in DC, working at the Navy Yard [213]. I'm sure Old Spook, and possibly Fred, will understand.) |

| #16 Sign me up. I will provide transportation and spiritual guidance. M'Lady will be available as a clinical psych consultant, as long as her name is not leaked to the press. Our son will be on board, posing as a 10 year old kid. |

| #12 Damn! Can I thrash them anyway? Like spin them around by thier tails for a while and then toss them into a wall of acid covered spikes or something? Maybe we could turn it into a company function. Bounce some meat off the grill, a few dozen kegs and a treasonous bastard pissing on contest or something. I would think this would be great for morale. |

| #9 Personally, I want Fred to run the CIA. Dan Darling will work in a back office memorizing all the names of our enemies and providing position papers, Steve Y will provide security, Lotp does long-range projects (all on tight deadlines), Emily will dig out all sorts of obscure stuff, Al-aska Paul flies us wherever we want to go, and OldSpook does all sorts of, um, 'interesting' things. Me? I make coffee. And .com, if he's around, is our press spokesman. All other jobs available, apply within. |

| #2 Is it just me or do we need a complete f*cking lunatic to run the CIA. A real bastard that can whip and kick and bust heads in that sewer to turn it around and make the world tremble at the very mention of CIA. |
