From the L/MSM:

The Fix-It Man Leaves, but The Agency's Cracks Remain

Thanks, I guess it's irrelevant now since Armitage was not named. I thought it would be strange for Bush to name someone so well liked by the media that they would protect his name from the Plame Blame.

[smoothsailing]

I found that odd also.Gertz is usually pretty balanced. It might be that he's talking about the Wilson/Plame/McCarthy cabal here.

Careful Richard Armitage, has the questionable baggage that has never been clarified...Vietnam POW's

[IrishRainy]

So who knew??!! Shoulda done less partying and more networking!

[Ann Archy]

What about Armitage and the Vietnam POW's?? What's THAT story?

[restornu]

google "Armitage and the Vietnam POW's!" there is a dark cloud swilling around this man and it never has been clarified!

Conspiracy or an ounce of truth whatever, Armitage has always been suspect!

[Ann Archy]

thanks.

One current and two retired senior CIA officials told Government Executive that (as noted last week by reporter Laura Rozen in The American Prospect's TAPPED blog) the relationship of Wilkes and Foggo--who the CIA's Web site declares is "under cover and cannot be named at this time," even though he is pictured and identified on a federal charity web page--has been a subject of increasing concern by some at Langley.

Wilkes-Foggo connctions:

Those who know Wilkes describe him as gregarious and ambitious, a person who can make friends easily and toss them aside just as quickly.

Born in San Diego County in 1954, Wilkes graduated from Hilltop High School in 1972, along with his football teammate and best friend Kyle Dustin "Dusty" Foggo, currently third-in-command at the Central Intelligence Agency. Wilkes and Foggo were roommates at San Diego State University, were best men at each other's weddings and named their sons after each other.

Wilkes' career in political relations dates to the early 1980s, shortly after Foggo joined the CIA. Foggo was sent to Honduras to work with the Contra rebels who were trying to topple the Sandinista government of Nicaragua, according to sources within the CIA.

Kyle (Dusty) Foggo at SDSU:

Kyle is the one on top (no pun intended)

"Something happened," neo-conservative magazine editor William Kristol said on Fox News this afternoon. "It's going to be a bad few days. We're going to discover something ... It will be something not good for the Bush Administration."

Fox News actually got a phone call from a "top White House official" during Kristol's damning comments, and Kristol was cut off.

A bump to review Kyle Dusty Foggo's connections.
