Go Foggo

Fish don't really rot from the head down, but... anyway... don't let the door hit you in the ass. In tomorrow's Washington Post:
The investigation of CIA Executive Director Kyle "Dusty" Foggo follows an ongoing investigation by the agency's inspector general, which is examining whether Foggo was involved in CIA contracts awarded to a firm owned by San Diego defense contractor Brent R. Wilkes. ~ Wilkes has been named as a co-conspirator in the corruption case against former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, who pleaded guilty last fall to taking $2.4 million in bribes from Wilkes and others in return for federal contracts. ~ The FBI recently began examining whether Foggo improperly intervened to help Wilkes obtain some of those contracts, according to two law enforcement officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The inquiry was reported yesterday by the Associated Press. ~ Foggo's name surfaced in the Cunningham case again last week after reports that FBI agents had questioned a Washington limousine company's president about allegations that Wilkes provided prostitutes to Cunningham and perhaps other lawmakers. The CIA issued a statement last week in which Foggo acknowledged attending poker parties with Wilkes but denied any improprieties.

Some lawmakers have raised questions in recent days about whether the limousine company, Shirlington Limousine and Transportation Inc., was qualified to receive contracts from the Department of Homeland Security.
