The Last of the Gosslings

| | Comments (0)

CIA operatives called him "the mailman," because he could always deliver supples.

But Kyle "Dusty" Foggo will answer to a number now, at least for a while.

Foggo went down Monday, pleading to one count of fraud stemming from the Randall "Duke" Cunningham bribery scandal and turning the last page on a strange and tumultuous chapter in the history of the CIA.

Foggo, a CIA logistics specialist, was catapulted into the agency's third-ranking slot by CIA Director Porter J. Goss, a Republican congressman from Florida who had headed the House Intelligence Committee.  Goss brought along a cadre of loyal aides who tried to remake the spy service along more hawkish lines.  

They called themselves "the revolutionaries," said Tyler Drumheller, a senior former CIA official, in an interview last year.
