On Friday, the CIA busted one of its own and charged him — or her — with leaking classified information.
While this guy or gal goes to jail, over at The Washington Post, reporter Dana Priest is still admiring the brand new Pulitzer Prize sitting on her mantle, for writing about what this very leaker told her: the secret prison story.
It was last November when Priest published a story in The Washington Post that the U.S. was maintaining a secret array of prisons where American intelligence could interrogate Al Qaeda-types who had been captured on the field of battle or picked up off the streets, wherever we could find them.
Coincidentally, on Friday, the European Union's anti-terrorism chief told a hearing that he had not been able to prove that secret CIA prisons really existed.
Whether they existed or not, the CIA spook evidently told Dana Priest something about secret prisons that qualified as leaking classified information. So it's off to Stony Lonesome.
All reporters would love to win a Pulitzer. Few know how it feels. Fewer still know how it feels to win one of the top prizes in the profession, while somebody goes off the prison so you could win your prize.
What is really going on here is the secret war by CIA-types against President Bush and his policies. This is the group inside the CIA — think Valerie Plame — who think their opinions and analysis of the world should trump whatever it is the president thinks. If the president goes against their opinion, they call The New York Times and start leaking embarrassing stuff.
It's a war against Bush, waged by Americans.
It's wrong, it's illegal and people are going to start going to jail. That's good.

I heard on the radio the leaker's name is Mary McCarthy
Calling a spade a spade. Also good.
Too bad Mr. and Mrs. Wilson aren't going to jail, they deserve it.
Boy does that feel wonderful!!!
Secret? Seems to me it becomes more blatant all the time, at least to anyone with a modicum of objectivity.
Shoot the traitorous bastids and their journalist enablers
a few people need to charged to an example for the rest
I wonder if any reporters are going to jail.What they did was treason.I sure hope so.They have American Patriots blood on thei hands.Hopefully,Ms.Mary starts spilling the beans for a plea deal.It sure would open some eyes.

McCarthy donated the maximum $2000 to the Kerry campaign in '04; not a surprise.
Any relation to Charlie?
Simply amazing how the Cintonoids are able to still control everything in the DeMARXocrat party and how they are able to actually use 'The Goverment for the People by the People' to destroy the country while attempting to destroy a Republican president.
While finding out someone in our own CIA hates America was not a shock, I am wondering how much deeper this goes. I would bet that there are more agents involved and also others outside of the CIA who are connected.
And I hope this agent is executed for treason.
Time for certain leaky Senators to go too.
And yes, she is the "namesake" daughter of an infamous closet communist writer of the 60's and 70's.
