Excerpt:
"She did not leak any classified information, and she did not have access to the information apparently attributed to her by some government officials," said Washington lawyer Ty Cobb, who is representing veteran CIA analyst Mary McCarthy.
Government officials have linked her to the Post's story about the CIA's covert sites in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, used to hold terror suspects. The disclosure of the facilities caused an international clamor last fall because of the legal and ethical issues they raised.
McCarthy was fired on Thursday for knowingly disclosing classified information. But Cobb said she hopes to find a way to clear up the allegations and move on.
"Her hope is to be able to pursue her planned retirement from two decades of distinguished public service to do community service law," Cobb said. She wants to focus on adoptions.
Earlier Monday, another McCarthy friend also asserted she was not the Post's source. "She was not the source for that story," said Rand Beers, who has spoken with her.
Beers headed intelligence programs at the National Security Council during the Clinton administration. He said McCarthy authorized him to make the brief statement, but he declined to discuss the issue further.
Senior Bush administration officials have vowed to make clamping down on leaks of classified information a top priority — to the dismay of whistleblower advocates who find merit when the disclosures unveil wrongdoing.
Stephen Kohn, chairman of the National Whistleblower Center, said he believe McCarthy could have a strong case to contest her firing.
"If she was blowing the whistle on something that's illegal, it's our position you cannot classify the illegal conduct of government. You can't say that's a secret," Kohn said.

My money's on Goss.
It's our position you cannot classify the illegal conduct of government. You can't say that's a secret."
AND THEN:
"She did not leak any classified information.
Let's summerize.
She decided to say it was illegal, therefore it couldn't be classified, therefore she did not leak classified info.
What a bitch.
Yep. He has plenty more up his sleeve, guaranteed.
= left-wing anti-male advocacy probably at taxpayer expense
Precisely .. it's all about THEIR interpretation (and agenda).
Thought I had read the bitch admitted she leaked the EU prison bit?
Why should we believe her friend?
Yeah .. "for the chillren" ... won't Shrillery love it?
A great hitter. . .not as good a lawyer, LOL.
This is serious stuff and would carry 20 years federal time. McCarthy is following the defense of her mentor, bill pigton, in just going down the denial route.
Of course by the time this is over she'll be innocent, a national heroine, and get full benefit of federal pensions, etc. and end up on democraptic talk show circuits talking about the culture of fear in America.
This woman should be up on treason. She'll probably make millions on the speaking circuit.
"Goss sounds very definite and emphatic that this B. is guilty.
My money's on Goss."
I'm in a non-partisan mood this evening....Goss has credibilty issues.
Sounds like she took a deal deal to get out without losing her pension. She KNEW she was nailed, maybe by being fed false info. So, babe, you get yer ass outa here, or get hard time and NO federal bennies. She took the deal deal,,,and was damn HAPPY to do so.

Funnily enough, I actually used to know a man named Ty Cobb ( I assure you, he is NOT this one !), who was a relation of the original Ty Cobb.
