Today, the liberal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released a list of the “25 Most Corrupt Members of the Bush Administration”.
The online version of the new report, which contains neither cabinet-level officials nor Vice President Dick Cheney, is comprised largely of obscure current and former political appointees working within a number of executive agencies and other administration bureaucracies.
According to CREW’s blog, “The majority of the officials in the report have been convicted of crimes, are currently under criminal investigation, or are being investigated by the inspector generals of their respective agencies.”
Among the more prominent officials named in the report—which provides links to a dossier on each person on the list—are Kyle “Dusty” Foggo, Ken Tomlinson, and David Safavian.
As the executive director appointed by former chief spy Porter Goss, Foggo was the third-highest ranking official at the CIA. He resigned last year amid suspicion that he had unethically awarded lucrative contracts to Brent Wilkes, who is under investigation for bribing disgraced former Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-CA).
