Military Industrial Complex, and a complex story of corruption

That may, or may not, be behind the resignation of CIA Chief Porter Goss.

The earlier part of the story is the conviction of congressman Randy "Duke Cunninghamn for taking bribes from defense contractors

Cunningham resigned from Congress after pleading guilty last November to accepting $2.4 million in bribes from four co-conspirators, including Wilkes and Wade. The former lawmaker was sentenced to eight years and four months in prison. Wade pleaded guilty to his part in the scheme in February and is cooperating with investigators. Wilkes has not been charged.

Reported today:

But another former official theorized that Goss' departure could be connected to persistent rumors that CIA officials and prominent lawmakers-past and present-could be implicated in a ring of contracting and bribery scandals tied to former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif. Unsubstantiated reports have suggested that the FBI's probe of Cunningham would extend to current and former members of the congressional defense and intelligence committees.
