Former CIA executive director-threatening to play dirty if he's brought to trial
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 08:46 PM by kpete
Former CIA executive director Dusty Foggo, indicted in the wider former Congressman Duke Cunningham corruption probe, threatening to play dirty if he's brought to trial:

A former top CIA official accused of corruption and fraud is threatening to expose the identities of numerous agents and programs as part of his defense, prosecutors said.

In a court filing, prosecutors allege that former CIA executive director Kyle "Dusty" Foggo is trying to gum up the works of his trial, scheduled for November, by delving into classified information that is irrelevant to his case. Foggo is charged with 28 counts of wire and mail fraud, unlawful money transactions and making false statements.

Prosecutors say Foggo has threatened "to expose the cover of virtually every CIA employee with whom he interacted and to divulge to the world some of our country's most sensitive programs - even though this information has absolutely nothing to do with the charges he faces."
