Just breaking on Fox...

No details, but the agent was caught dead to rights leaking....

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."

Maybe she had contact with Rockefeller/or his staff when she briefed the Sen Intell Committee?

Hows that?

I haven't seen her photograph. Is she hot?

Any left-winged Clinton lapdog wouldn't be considered "hot".

This may be what is happening. Goss told the Intelligence Committee that "on the external side, I've called in the FBI, the Department of Justice. It is my aim, and it is my hope, that we will witness a grand jury investigation with reporters present being asked to reveal who is leaking this information." http://abcnews.go.com/US/Investigation/story?id=1587307&page=2 Is there a "Secret" Grand Jury going on?

Can't wait for Meet the Press where Russert gets to the bottom of this leak case.

Seeing as how Mary McCarthy has been with the NSC since 1996, yep, they (McCarthy and Joe Wilson) served together.

Well well well....

Perhaps if you have a passion for diesel trucks.

Its hard to put politics aside when she is a rat, leaking to other rats, in an attempt to harm a Republican Administration.

The White House has never said the leaking of Valerie Plame's identity was a "positive leak". In fact, if it weren't for the White House, nobody would be investigating the Plame leak. Who makes up these fairytales?

I want to know the REASON for not arresting her on the spot .. and allowing her to be marched out .. free to leave .. any clues

Because her phone is tapped. They want to find out what phone calls she makes.

Ol' Joe and Mary were probably sipping some tea at a Nigerian teahouse together, yukking it up on how to bring down a White House.

"And I bet all the threads lead back to Der Schlickmeister himself."

McCarthy is a Clintonista. No question about that.

Politics will muddy this up.
