So this story gets really interesting.....
It looks like Goss may have been keeping company with pimps.....pimps who got a $21 million defense contract.
" The reports are that the FBI is probing whether Goss and agency Executive Director Dusty Foggo played poker with a defense contractor who was named as bribing California Rep. Duke Cunningham in a case aswirl with money and prostitutes. The contractor, a pal of Foggo's, wouldn't be the sort you'd want hosting your top spy."
NY Daily News
The best part to this story, a couple of weeks ago the WSJ apparently broke the story that the guys who were bribing Duke Cunningham apparently paid for prostitutes and limo services for ol' duke. But not just Duke, acording to Harper's. I've added my own emphasis on the story:

"The two defense contractors who allegedly bribed Cunningham, said the Journal, were Brent Wilkes, the founder of ADCS Inc., and Mitchell Wade, the founder of MZM Inc.; both firms profited greatly from their connections with Cunningham.
The Journal also suggested that other lawmakers might be implicated. I've learned from a well-connected source that those under intense scrutiny by the FBI are current and former lawmakers on Defense and Intelligence comittees—including one person who now holds a powerful intelligence post. I've also been able to learn the name of the limousine service that was used to ferry the guests and other attendees to the parties: Shirlington Limousine and Transportation of Arlington, Virginia. Wilkes, I've learned, even hired Shirlington as his personal limousine service.
It gets even more interesting: the man who has been identified as the CEO of Shirlington has a 62-page rap sheet (I recently obtained a copy) that runs from at least 1979 through 1989 and lists charges of petit larceny, robbery, receiving stolen goods, assault, and more. Curiously—or perhaps not so curiously given the company's connections—
Shirlington Limousine is also a Department of Homeland Security contractor; according to the Washington Post, last fall it won a $21.2 million contract for shuttle services and transportation support. (I tried to contact Shirlington but was unable to get past their answering service.)"
Those must've been
some poker games.
