Foggo Pleads Guilty

By Cernig

News is breaking that Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, former Bush administration Director of the CIA under Porter Goss has admitted his guilt in one count of defrauding the United States. That's out of 30 counts of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering following his involvement in the Duke Cunningham/Brent Wilkes corruption and bribery scandal.

Recently, Foggo had threatened to out agents and burn sensitive government intelligence programs as part of his defense.

So, is this guilty plea a sign that's he's turning and providing prosecutors with information to go after others involved in the scandal, or that the government folded to his threats?

"Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in law-making, in all acts of authority. It matters not what rank he has, what revenues or garnitures. The requisite thing is, that he have a tongue which others will listen to; this and nothing more is requisite. The nation is governed by all that has tongue in the nation: Democracy is virtually there."
