Dusty Abroad (Foggo's life long hooker habit)

[Robbien]

Foggo was. . .in Honduras in the early 1980s, when the agency was using the country as a base both to support the Nicaraguan contras and for a variety of other covert programs in Central America. (During this period, Wilkes accompanied several congressional delegations to the region.)

The sources said that Foggo was a regular at the Maya Hotel's casino in Tegucigalpa;“the unofficial headquarters for those who came here to help—or watch—the U.S. try to purge neighboring Nicaragua and El Salvador of communist threats” .Foggo, said my sources, was also a regular at a local bar named Gloria's, which one source said was chiefly known for having “a brisk hooker trade.” While my sources had no direct knowledge of Foggo consorting with prostitutes, several said that simply being at a place like Gloria's was deemed to be a serious security problem and that Foggo's nocturnal habits were a source of great concern within the local CIA station. Foggo, said one source, was “capable in the field but lacked a moral compass.” You don't put a red light on your head by going to places where there's gambling and hookers—it's a stupid risk.”

“He was a logistics guy,” said one source about Foggo, “not a spy. Any time he was spending there was personal business, not for the CIA.”


“Gloria's was a ticking bomb,” said the source cited above. “There were a lot of Cuban women there and you had to be mindful that you might be set up.” This person said that before he was sent to Tegucigalpa, his boss at the CIA gave him a “fire-breathing” lecture about staying far away from spots like Gloria's. “He , ‘If you get into trouble down there, you make sure you get killed because I'll kill you otherwise.’” (It should be noted that, according to my sources, Foggo was not the only American intelligence officer who frequented the Tegucigalpa nightspots named above.)

. . .

“This guy had a career's worth of bad judgment,” said a source who was stationed in Honduras with Foggo. “He was in deep trouble when Tenet headed the agency and was set to go when Tenet left . Then Goss and his Gosslings come in and he becomes the number-three. People were thunderstruck.”

1. "...the past is always going to catch up with you.” It appears that it

might have finally caught up with this guy despite his lawyer's claims to the contrary.
You honestly can't make this stuff up!
