    • The Loss of Goss

      Posted by Billbar from Harpers

      Meanwhile, I double-checked with my sources regarding who attended Wilkes’s parties, and all of them repeated what they had said before: over the years, at least six former and current members of Congress were said to have been at events sponsored by Wilkes, and their names have apparently been provided to investigators in the Cunningham case.

      CIA's Foggo Expected to Resign Soon

      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. 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.

      Porter Goss' spooky demise

      Posted by Billbar from Salon

      Normally under Bush, promoted-above-your-abilities incompetence is not a firing offense unless, of course, you drown an entire city. For those practiced in connecting the dots, little artistic training is needed to speculatively link Goss' here's-your-hat-what's-your-hurry departure with the bribery scandal surrounding jailed former GOP Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham.

      CIA to TNR: Goss Exit Unrelated to Foggo

      Posted by Billbar from Tpmmuckraker

      A unnamed CIA spokesman says Goss's resignation is "totally separate" from the controversy surrounding CIA Executive Director/former procurement official Dusty Foggo's longtime friendship with defense/intelligence contractor Brent Wilkes. . . *cough*

      Hookers

      Posted by Billbar from firedoglake

      Follow the connections that lead from 'Duke' Cunningham to Brent Wilkes and Mitchell Wade to 'Dusty' Foggo - who was appointed the #3 post at the CIA by Director Goss after meeting him through the ‘hospitality suites’ - moveable feast of food, poker and love run by Wilkes.

    How the CIA Came Unglued

    Helps in understanding the machinations with the CIA. Background on Foggo is interesting.

    What happened to the media's love of sex scandals?

    I watched the NewsHour on PBS Friday hoping for something in-depth. Nope. Heck, they barely even mentioned that Goss resigned without a replacement ready for him. Helen Thomas has a new book out about the MSM. It's mentioned at Crooks and Liars: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/05/06.html#a8186
