CIA's Foggo Expected to Resign Soon
Dusty Foggo, the executive director of the CIA linked to a bribery investigation, is expected to resign soon, according to CIA officials and his associates.

Outgoing CIA Director Porter Goss had refused to remove Foggo from his powerful post after Foggo came under investigation by the FBI and the CIA Inspector General.

A CIA official said Foggo's resignation would be "pretty normal" following the resignation of Goss as Director.

The choice of Foggo to run the agency's day-to-day activities has been cited as an example of Goss' mismanagement of the spy agency.

7. Too funny!
I was going to suggest that The Onion was faking their url at that was really an articl at The Onion. If your last name is Foggo, do you really want a nickname like Dusty?

11. Loco Foggo
They just announced he had resigned on CNN -- purported reason was his loyalty to the outgoing director. No mention of any other reason...
