HeadlineMay 08, 2006

Goss quit just days after it was revealed that one of his top appointees within the agency was under a federal criminal investigation. The official, Kyle “Dusty” Foggo, has been linked to a defense contractor bribery scandal that has already sent former Republican Congressman Duke Cunningham to jail. It has been alleged that a defense contractor named Brent Wilkes bribed Cunningham and other lawmakers with prostitutes, limousines rides and free rooms at the Watergate and Grand Westin Hotels.
