CIA Director Blasts NYT for Publishing Name of Clandestine Officer
Truth Revolt ^ | 7.21.2017 | Hannah Mayer

During a powerful segment, Fox News' Ed Henry tuned into the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado, where CIA Director Mike Pompeo rightfully condemned The New York Times for endangering the life of a CIA officer.    "We had a publication, you work for Bret, that published the name of an undercover officer at the Central Intelligence Agency," he said. "I find that unconscionable."

"In The Times report, the authors gave a description of where the officer lived, their spouse, work ethic, regions they operated in, and a detailed overview of their career and a few operations they were a part of.

It’s common practice in reporting to leave out the names of undercover officials to protect their identity and their life. But by their own admission, The New York Times published the name of the official partly due to the fact that Donald Trump was president. That is a disturbing diversion from standard protocol for largely a political reason."

Quit the whining, bring some people up on charges. It will at least give them something to think about and consider their behavior spending time in court. Stop worrying about if you will win or not. You may not get many convictions, just put that tax money to good use.

No no no! *Jail*! Like Scooter Libby, who didn't even leak worthless b*tch Valerie Plame's name.

If it the pretense that Scooter Libby lied over the Valerie Plame incident was good enough to put Scooter Libby in jail, then actually leaking the name of an undercover operative is certainly good enough to put New York Times people in jail.

It is so bad that there should be some prison type enclosures.

They will be for US. Outside is all the rest, NYT people, etc. The enclosure separates us from them. Kind of a reverse “Escape From New York”.

Percent-wise it feels we are in the 1%.

“unconscionable”
Correction: Treason. Just as bammy committed treason, so the NYT has committed treason.

I demand an apology from the NYTimes for their hit pieces on Scooter Libby.

And yet Trump gives them an interview where he blasts his own administration folks. I would start by banning them from every government office.
