archer logistics and the CIA

* "The CIA's inspector general is examining a recent contract the agency gave to an obscure Virginia company (archer logistics) headed by a relative of Brent Wilkes (joel Combs), an unindicted co-conspirator in the federal bribery case against former San Diego congressman Randy (Duke) Cunningham. The contract was issued by the logistics office of the agency's main base near Frankfurt, Germany, at a time that office was headed by agency veteran Kyle (Dusty) Foggo, now the CIA's third-ranking official... The recently expired contract is said to have been worth $2 million to $3 million and involved delivering bottled water and other household goods to CIA personnel in "war zones" including Iraq and Afghanistan.

* feingold has a dkos diary:

" Today I will introduce a Senate resolution censuring the President.

The facts and the case for censure are clear. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, makes it a crime to wiretap American citizens without a court warrant - which is what the President has admitted doing.

[snip]

When the domestic spying story first broke, the President went from saying he wouldn't be able to talk about it, to suggesting there was no other way to wiretap terrorists, to implying that the FISA law is out of date. He went on to claim that sweeping inherent powers of the presidency or the authorization of force back in 2001 gave him such authority -- neither of which is legally or factually correct. While the President has cherry-picked information before, he cannot do the same with the laws of our land.

Censuring the President is not something that should be taken lightly. But the President has BROKEN the law and there needs to be action and accountability."
