March 3, 2006 A stunning investigation of bribery and corruption in Congress has spread to the CIA, ABC News has learned.
The CIA Inspector General has opened an investigation into the spy agency's executive director, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, and his connections to two defense contractors accused of bribing a member of Congress and Pentagon officials.
The CIA released an official statement on the matter to ABC News, saying: "It is standard practice for CIA's Office of Inspector General an aggressive, independent watchdog to look into assertions that mention agency officers. That should in no way be seen as lending credibility to any allegation.

I don't know whether the CIA or the FBI is in more dire need of an enema.

As executive director of the CIA, Foggo oversees the administration of the giant spy agency. He was appointed to the post by CIA Director Porter Goss after working as a midlevel procurement supervisor, according to former CIA officials.A corrupt buyer--what a shock.

Six of one and half a dozen of the other.
At least Porter Goss is trying to sweep out the Augean Stables at Langley. Nobody is even trying to clean out the FBI. Bush doesn't seem to care about it.

Remember, there were stories of Duke being WIRED when he was first starting to be investigated...
I wonder if these CIA guys were caught on tape.

This is exactly why we needed to get Goss into to clean things up. These Tenet-era hold overs were incompetent -- we knew that -- and now we learn that they were crooks as well.

I know at the time it was reported, it was speculated here that perhaps Tom Delay or other House members had been recorded...
But, since we haven't heard anything like that...BUT, now we have these guys problems popping up on the very day that Duke is sentenced...coincidence??? dunno.

Bush doesn't seem to care about it.President Bush tries not to micro-manage. Too bad everyone thinks he should.

"I don't know whether the CIA or the FBI is in more dire need of an enema."
The CIA, no competition required.
Carter (May his soul rot in hell as I proudly stand guard) intentionally killed off most of the sane and productive staff of the CIA in the late 1970s Presidential "purge" of that "evil" agency.
I would sooner work cleaning fish or waiting tables,(BTW both of which I did) than become affiliated in any way, with the CIA.
Not because of the mission, but because the people in charge of discharging the mission, were and are not people you would let feed your dog for one day in your absence.
