Go Easy on Foggo’s Red Stogie HabitSo the Feds may bust former CIA Executive Director Kyle “Dusty” Foggo for hoarding Cuban cigars, CNN tells us.
I’m hardly an apologist for Foggo. But while we savor the irony of a hardened anti-Communist puffing on a Cohiba, we should recall that Cuban cigars, like dopey nicknames, are an occupational weakness for CIA executive directors. His predecessor, A. B. “Buzzy” Krongard, was said to have kept a walk-in safe stocked with them. And we never heard about G-men busting through his place.
Late Update: An earlier version of this post linked to an LA Times story from today reporting the FBI’s seizure of Cuban cigars at Foggo’s home. In fact, CNN broke the story yesterday evening.
