Felipe Sixto -- the former aide to President Bush charged with stealing from a government-funded agency that works for democracy and human rights in Cuba -- pleaded guilty today to theft from a federally aided program, reports the Associated Press

Sixto resigned in March from his White House job as special assistant to the president for intergovernmental affairs.

Before that, he had worked as chief of staff of the Center for a Free Cuba, from which he stole more than $579,000 by overcharging the center for radios and flashlights, according to the Justice Department.

His sentencing is set for March.
