WSJ: CIA Blocking Cunningham Investigation
By Justin Rood - January 9, 2007, 10:01 AM
The CIA is refusing to cooperate with federal prosecutors investigating the Duke Cunningham scandal, the Wall Street Journal's Scott Paltrow reports today.

Before getting caught in 2005, Cunningham was involved in a sprawling corruption ring between Congress and the national security community. The scandal allegedly enjoyed the participation of current and former CIA officials, including Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, the executive director of the agency. Foggo would be the highest-ranking CIA official to be prosecuted in the agency's history, according to Paltrow.

Prosecutors had expected to indict Foggo several months ago, but the Agency's refusal to declassify important documents has hampered their efforts, Paltrow reports.

Of course, prosecutors haven't received much help from Congress with their investigation, either. Last month they were forced to serve subpoenas to several powerful committees in an effort to force them to turn over documents.............

1. Dusty Foggo was up to his keister in the Hookergate scandal

with that limo company. That story seems to have simply dropped of the face of planet.

3. "Dusty Foggo" sounds like a name from a bad Mafia novel set in Wyoming.

2. Read Manhunt by Peter Maas and see more about how the CIA

blocked critical investigations by governments all around the world - going back 40 years to '41' and the time when rogue CIA agents were selling arms etc, to despots, all around the world. The main person behind the car bombing in Washington DC that killed 2 diplomats, just got out of prison at the beginning of '43's administration....Edwin Walker.
