FBI Raids Home Of Outgoing CIA Executive Director

POSTED: 4:05 pm PDT May 12, 2006
UPDATED: 8:02 pm PDT May 12, 2006

Federal Bureau of Investigation agents raided the Vienna, Va., home and office of the Central Intelligence Agency's executive director Friday.

FBI spokeswoman April Langwell said, "I can confirm that search warrants were executed at the home of Dusty Foggo."

This was all part of the scandal that brought down Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham.

People close to the case said it was only a matter of time before federal investigators closed in on Kyle "Dusty" Foggo and a Poway defense contractor.

The two local men have been close since they were children.

Sources told 10News that agents are looking specifically at CIA contracts awarded to Poway defense contractor Brent Wilkes.

Why?

Wilkes and Foggo have been best friends since their days at Chula Vista's Hilltop High School.

They played football together, graduated together and reportedly always partied together.

"That was their specialty. They knew how to have a poker party. They always had girls," said Ralph Nieders.

Nieders graduated with Wilkes and Foggo at Hilltop High in 1972.

After high school, Foggo worked as a security guard at Sears and then became a San Diego police officer.

However, Foggo allegedly lost his job as a police officer for being a bully.

"That's what got him in trouble at Sears Roebuck. That's what got him in trouble at the SDPD. He always liked to push his weight around," added Nieders.

But Foggo eventually worked his way into a job at the CIA.

Nieders heard a lot about "Dusty" Foggo even after he became a CIA agent working with Honduran rebels.

His buddy, Brent Wilkes, was in Central America with Foggo, something about which they talked years later over lunch with one of Wilkes' co-workers.

"There were some big cocktail parties or some fiestas or something like that," said Wilkes' co-worker, Wally Hartin.

Now, federal agents are looking closer at parties Wilkes threw in Washington.

There are allegations of hotel poker parties, prostitutes and high-ranking congressmen compromised by the two men who grew up together in Chula Vista.

The raid on Foggo's home is just the first.

Will agents now turn their attention to Wilkes' defense company or his mansion in Poway?

Neighbors near the home where Wilkes grew up in Chula Vista said a black moving truck was outside the house earlier this week.

It is the same truck that is normally parked at Wilkes' headquarters in Poway.
