Foggo is out amid investigation into Watergate prostitution scandal

As expected, Dusty Foggo, Porter Goss' number three man at the CIA, follows his boss into the world of resignation as he is being investigated for attending poker parties involving the lobbyist of recently-jailed Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham.  Worst of all, other than the fact that a few of these parties took place at the Watergate Hotel, reports indicate that prostitutes might have been there as well.

ABC News discusses the issue of a replacement for Foggo:

ABC News' Christopher Isham reported today that a respected veteran CIAofficer — Stephen Kappes — had already been asked to return to theagency as Hayden's right hand. Kappes had left the agency when Goss wasappointed as its head. Insiders told ABC News that the news of Kappes'expected return is likely to be a huge boost to morale.

The excuse that Foggo and Goss left because of infighting with National Intelligence Director John Negroponte is a nice way of trying to preemptively hide a prostitution scandal that is about to unfold any week now.
