The New York Times’ David Johnston reports that Kyle D. Foggo, executive director of the CIA from 2004-06, pleaded guilty yesterday to arranging government contracts for his friend Brent R. Wilkes. This is not the first time that Wilkes, a San Diego contractor, has made the beltway police blotter. He also bribed California Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunninghman, formerly a powerful Congressional appropriator, now an inmate seeking a pardon from the Bush administration.

Wilkes himself was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the Cunningham bribery. As for former CIA no. #3 Foggo, he faces 20 years in prison for participating another Bush administration contracting imbroglio now unraveling.-MB
