How Wilkes’ Parties Got His Pal the CIA’s #3 Spot

Over at WarandPiece.com, Laura Rozen puts her excellent sources to work explaining how Wilkes’ poker/hooker parties may have put Wilkes’ longtime pal Kyle “Dusty” Foggo on Porter Goss’ radar, and eventually landed Foggo the #3 spot at the CIA when Goss became its head:

I’m told these poker parties may have indirectly helped put Dusty Foggo on Porter Goss’s radar through the person of Goss’s deputy Patrick Murray… Writes one source, “…Wilkes and Foggo played cards together in washington in the late 1990s and early 2000s… It is apparently through this connection that Foggo came to the attention of Goss when Goss’ first choice for executive director, Michael Kostiw, was nixed…”
