You know, I support the administration, but this story is wrong. Rice admitted this weekend that the administration leaked the agent's name. Someone needs to lose their job (and be thrown in jail) over this.

I agree with you, it's not the NY Times fault.

We need to shoot talkative "intelligence officals" so they stop trying to impress nosy reporters with how "in the know" they are.

Preening jackasses.

Unless it was done to take pressure off of...or divert attention away from other operatives working under deep cover. More valuable assets that need protection.

she did? that they leaked it on purpose, or by accident?

Agreed. This was obviously done by a Kerry mole in the CIA intent on crippling the war on terror.

This is yet another reason why Kerry should be arrested for treason before the election.

Think of this scenario. This Pak is giving good intel, we blow his cover, so all his Al Queda contacts cut ties and vanish.What if there's another Al Queda guy under our control? All attention is focused on this one while a second or a third gets closer to the target.

The only other scenarios are the we have some truly stupid people working national security or we have a true traitor working in national security. I prefer to follow my gut. We feign incompetence, use the NYTimes desire for a scoop and turn attention away from an agent of real value.
