Was there another prostitution scandal about a year ago?
Did someone at the CIA resign or something like that?

Print ABC News has learned that Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, the hand-picked executive director of the CIA under Porter Goss, has resigned -- the same day as his boss's replacement was announced by the White House.

Foggo is at the center of a swirling storm of corruption allegations -- and there are suggestions that the scandal, which involves poker parties, sweetheart contracts and prostitutes -- could spread, further tainting the agency. His resignation may serve to tamp down some of the damage to the agency itself as an FBI criminal probe and a CIA inspector general's investigation continue.

SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) -- The CIA's former third-ranking official and a California defense contractor have been indicted on corruption charges in the same bribery probe that sent former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham to prison, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.

Kyle "Dusty" Foggo quit his post as the CIA's executive director in May 2006 after prosecutors began looking into his ties with longtime friend Brent Wilkes.

On Tuesday, prosecutors alleged that Foggo, in exchange for lavish gifts, pressured subordinates to award water and procurement services contracts to Wilkes and his company, ADCS Inc.

"Among the gifts that are provided are these lavish overseas gifts, including a $44,000, one-week stay at a Scottish castle," Assistant U.S. Attorney Sanjay Bhandari said. "Beyond that, there's a pattern of promises of future gifts -- a job at Wilkes' company."

The indictment alleges Wilkes paid for private jets, limousines, antiques and prostitutes for Cunningham.

Wilkes has been charged with bribery, conspiracy

2. Yes. It's Easy to Forget. Repiglican Scandals Only Have a Half-Life of a Few Days at Most in the MSM

4. I think it involved a limousine service and hotel room poker games and sex
I believe a lot of CIA were involved and so it was hushed up immediately..
