in democracy:
>>[from above article:]
His departure comes days after it emerged that the CIA inspector general's office is investigating Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, whom Mr Goss appointed the agency's executive director. Mr Foggo attended private poker games at the Watergate Hotel with a defence contractor linked to a big congressional bribery scandal.He has denied any wrongdoing, but told colleagues that he plans to resign this week. ]]
Interesting choice of venue for poker games, that, it is said, included prostitutes (I suppose they were playing strip poker). Politicians who think they are playing poker, strip or otherwise, at the Watergate Hotel, show that they are in fact playing Russian roulette. I would think this would be self-evident, but Mr. Bush and his appointees have already demonstrated that lessons learned by others mean nothing to them. So it goes.
