Ex-CIA Executive Director Pleads Guilty
---------------------------------------



The CIA’s former executive director pleaded guilty Monday to wire fraud
as part of a plea bargain. Kyle “Dusty” Foggo was the
third-highest-ranking official at the CIA until his resignation in 2006.
Federal prosecutors accuse him of accepting up to $70,000 worth of gifts
from his friend Brent Wilkes in exchange for lucrative CIA contracts.
Foggo originally faced twenty-eight charges, but prosecutors agreed to
drop twenty-seven of them in exchange for a guilty plea for wire fraud.
