Nine Fingers
It looks like another CIA official has been linked to the Watergategate poker and prostitute ring:
Over the weekend, Newsweek magazine revealed the identity of another CIA official — previously known only as “Nine Fingers” — who reportedly attended the poker parties, that allegedly featured prostitutes, thrown by corrupt defense contractor Brent Wilkes

His name is Brant Bassett. He is identified by Newsweek only as “a former Goss aide,” but that’s an understatement. Congressional expenditure reports show he was actually the staff director of the House Intelligence Committee while Porter Goss was committee chairman. Bassett is the second Goss aide to be linked to the parties, in addition to Kyle “Dusty” Foggo.
Now, repeat after me. Porter Goss was resigned because he was merely a "transitional" director and a part of the "White House shakeup".

Well, at least now we know what everyone in Washington was doing while men, women, children, and pets were either drowning or dying of thirst along the gulf coast. They were either shoe shopping, playing poker or poking prostitutes.
Nice system we have here.
