Update: CIA Officer Fired for Leaking Classified Info to Media
WASHINGTON — A CIA officer has been relieved of his duty after being caught leaking classified information to the media.
CIA officials will not reveal the officer's name, assignment, or the information that was leaked. The firing is a highly unusual move, although there has been an ongoing investigation into leaks in the CIA.
One official called this a "damaging leak" that deals with operational information and said the fired officer "knowingly and willfully" leaked the information to the media and "was caught."
As I'm reading it "pattern of behavior" might mean that, or that she was leaking to multiple reporters on multiple occasions, or it might be an allusion to an espionage investigation, or all of the above.

ABC News is reporting that Current and former CIA officers speaking to ABC News on the condition of confidentiality say the United States scrambled to get all the suspects off European soil before Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived there today. The officers say 11 top al Qaeda suspects have now been moved to a new CIA facility in the North African desert.
The disgrunted intelligence officers even disclosed an actual list of 12 high-value targets allegedly held by the CIA, and ABC is reporting it :
Abu Zubaydah: Held first in Thailand then Poland
Ibn Al-Shaykh al-Libi: Held in Poland. Previously held in Pakistan/Afghanistan
Abdul Rahim al-Sharqawi: Held in Poland
Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri: Held in Poland
Ramzi Binalshibh: Held in Poland
Mohammed Omar Abdel-Rahman: Held in Poland
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed: Held in Poland
Waleed Mohammed bin Attash: Held in Poland
Hambali: In U.S. custody. Kept isolated from other high-value targets.
Hassan Ghul: Held in Poland.
Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani: Held in Poland
Abu Faraj al-Libbi...

Some of the heavier theorizing and speculation are in the comments section. Worth a read!
so-called “civil rights” and “Constitutional” attorney Michael Ratner.
Any relation to Elaine Ratner, noted Rat shill and Clinton apologist?

It is too bad that this phrase leaves the impression of a helpful intern, when in reality congressional aides are the well paid power and brains of these committees.

"I'm starting to believe there are more traitor revelations coming .........."
I'm going to point you to my post on another thread...another possible angle. One I've been pondering for several years. DID THE DEMS COLLUDE WITH FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS TO UNDERMINE U.S. FOREIGN POLICY (AND BUSH)? Remember their major '04 campaign plank: Bush alienated our allies! But were those allies being coaxed along by the Dems in their opposition?
The article I link there was a single blip in an obscure Norwegian newspaper. But the fact that it included HILLARY, BIDEN, and other DEM Bigs caused me to save it and often wonder what became of it and what it might mean today.

Great save !!! Could be a very important link to proof of the utter filth they are ... who knows what conspiracies will continue to unfold about the Rats' scheming, pre and post WOT?
What I wouldn't give to have a reporter (say, Byron York) ask Biden at his next presser:
"What is your connection to the European Labor Parties and what became of that conference in Norway in 2003? Do you---or other major Democrats---still have working relationships with your Euro counterparts?"
More food for thought re the 2004 campaign --
I remember a connection to Americans Abroad for Kerry and articles that they published in the Tehran Times. Cannot do the research right now, but it must be saved somewhere.
Oh, great, so our tax dollars PAY for this hot-headed bozo to propagate his nonsense?? I wonder how many similar types are still drawing checks from the US Treasury to undermine our country? He says this program is run by the State Dept. - it's long past time to have a real house-cleaning there as well as at CIA.
This is a comment from a blog site called Tim Blair about this meeting which I found very interesting in relation to Kerry:
I have something here that’s not exactly a bombshell, but I wish I had remembered it when Kerry spoke of a “global test.”
Joe Biden is Kerry’s man for Secretary of State. And what of the “global test” for our actions in the war against the terrorists?
Some here may remember this. October 2003, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, a Wesley Clark operative, & other Dems met with Euro social democrats to discuss “common strategies” & “political globalization” & concerns over “European concern over current US foreign policy and the effects of globalization” (presumably economic), a meeting for preparing in case the left regains simultaneous power on both sides of the Atlantic. (Since then, the EU twice threatened to target electorally important US states with retaliatory tariffs in response to Bush Administration policies. Spoiling for a fight, it seemed.) Anyway, the Dems & Eurosocs have some strategic planning in place. Technically at least, the Eurosocs are much further to the left than the US Dems with whom they met. So at the least, the meeting was indeed about strategies, whether or not it was also about ideology. “Political globalization” sounds ominous indeed.
I ran a search on Espen Barth Eide. From what I can tell he is a very influential European, stong defender of the UN, involved with the Nobel Prize committee (said Bush was "out of the question" for Peace prize, 03), and an active member and leader in the Party of European Socialists. Here is a link to their website which provides a look at who the leaders are and how their organization works. Home page gives info about what they are presently excited about.

Perhaps this gives a clue as to who else was involved in the meeting with Clinton and cohorts. It's kind of funny the Norwegian article only mentions the one guy and doesn't say anything about who else was represented there but maybe they're just being self-centered.
Ellen Ratner's "partner" is some left wing chick. I don't think these lefties KNOW any conservatives.
I just LOVE that Larry Johnson ad Ray McGovern belong to something called "Truth-Telling"!!!! It's so 1984-ish.
Ron Wyden is up to his geeky neck in this leaking...along with Rockefeller and Durbin!! GO PORTER GO!!
