Earlier today I mentioned the report that the CIA Inspector General has opened an investigation into Kyle “Dusty” 
Foggo, the Executive Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. As we noted, the investigation stems from Foggo’s lifelong friendship and close professional association with Brent Wilkes, the biggest fraudster at the heart of the Duke Cunningham.
Here’s the key point to keep in mind here — here and in the rest of the investigations the Cunningham case is likely to spawn. These guys were smart (Wilkes and his protege Mitchell Wade). They ran these scams in the ‘black’ parts of the Pentagon budget and in intelligence procurement. The ‘black’ stuff is top secret. Not only is it hidden from the public and all forms of public disclosure; it’s not scrutinized very closely or even allowed to be seen by very many people on Capitol Hill.
There are reasons for having top secret programs in the defense and intel sphere. But it’s an invitation for corruption, because few of the checks on corruption are in place. Rivers of money can just disappear.
Doing his dirty work in the top secret parts of the budget was Brent Wilkes’ racket. He taught it to Mitch Wade. The fact that he was tight with the #3 guy at CIA who came out of the Agency’s procurement bureaucracy raises all sorts of red flags. As well it should.
