Kyle "Dusty" Foggo's CIA dossier included allegations that he was sharing a woman with a suspected Russian mole, according to a top former spy agency official and other sources.

CIA Director Porter J. Goss knew about the allegation when he hired Foggo to be the agency's executive director, its third highest official, an aide said Thursday.

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.
