Dusty Foggo & Porter Goss

Interesting new article at Newsweek called "Investigation: The CIA's No. 3 Has a Friend in the Spotlight"

As logistics chief at the CIA's main base near Frankfurt, Germany, Kyle (Dusty) Foggo sat at the crossroads of agency operations. Operatives and VIPs passed through, and former top spies say Foggo was customarily on hand to greet them. After Porter Goss took over as CIA director, many agency veterans were astonished when the former House intel chair chose Foggo, a midranking bureaucrat, to become CIA executive director, the agency's third-ranking official, responsible for day-to-day operations. Insiders attributed his rise to his mastery of office politics. But Foggo's glad-handing has raised awkward questions. Federal prosecutors have accused (as an unindicted co-conspirator) one of Foggo's closest friends, San Diego businessman Brent Wilkes, of participating in a scheme to bribe Randall (Duke) Cunningham

Foggo's name has surfaced in the federal inquiry. At the same time, NEWSWEEK has learned, the CIA inspector general's office has opened its own investigation into Foggo's relationship with Wilkes. This inquiry is sufficiently serious that Congress was notified about it in writing.

So far, no proof has emerged that Wilkes, whose companies did a lot of business with the Pentagon, also did business with the CIA. A source close to Foggo, declining to be ID'ed while talking about the case, said Foggo had no knowledge of the criminal inquiry and had not been contacted by investigators.

Laura has written about Foggo before, and suggested that Wilkes' Archer Logistics worked for the CIA. I've written about Archer before, here.

Also interesting is the way Foggo got promoted by Goss - 'astonishing', apparently. If you believe the worst about Porter Goss - for example Sibel's comments pointing to the fact that he was with General Mahmoud on 911, or Larisa's suggestion that Goss was one of the few 'chess pieces' put in place immediately after 911 - then we should probably ask similar questions about Mr Foggo.

I wonder whether Mr Foggo's logistics expertise in Europe had anything to do with arms and drugs smuggling...
