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."

"So I guess Mr. Kerry will be thinking REAL hard all over again about running for Pres.
This buries him."
I don't know about that, but it buries Hillary. She was already running way behind prospective Republican opponents. Now she's got a Clintonista Democrat who would rather violate the law for political advantage than respect the confidentiality agreement she's signed more than once. People will make the connections between this woman's activities - not to mention Sandy Berger's - and Hillary's political prospects. What was that about Nixon and dirty tricks?
Any chance it's Valerie Plame?
LOL!
I'm almost certain that Rand and Kerry have a personal friendship relationship that he talked about during the 2004 campaign.

LOL! Well, yeah, now that you mention it.
That might have been her aim
But what she did was harm the Country ... IN A TIME OF WAR

"It is unprecendented in the CIA .. veterans tell her they cannot recall another officer being fired. Confronted her yesterday, marched her out the door."
So nobody in the CIA can figure out that you're supposed to keep secrets? What's really unprecedented is the Administration taking action against a leaker, and everyone in the press knows this.
This is completely incestuous.
It boggles the mind to think what we could do with LEXIS/NEXIS!!
You have such a good memory, I don;t doubt you at all.
This goes way beyond the acquisition of power. This is about protecting people who facilitated a murderous dictator who was an enemy of this country. This is IMO about suppressing proof of widespread corruption at the very highest level of government.
Regain control of Congress, pass legislation that pulls the docs back. Unseat the president, make it all go away.
"I wish this would unravel the whole thing. Because we KNOW it's there. A concerted efffort to destroy George Bush."
Well, there's no question about that.

LOL!
She'll be a hero/victim come Monday if MSM have their way.
"This confirms the contents of the bio above. On Page 210 she is mentioned as one of the people working with Condi Rice to plan for dealing with the Taliban before 9-11:
In March 2001, Rice asked the CIA to prepare a new series of authorities for covert action in Afghanistan. Rice’s recollection was that the idea had come from Clarke and the NSC senior director for intelligence, Mary McCarthy, and had been linked to the proposal for aid to the Northern Alliance and the Uzbeks.
In what is becoming a bad trend for Mary, she is now linked with Sandy Berger and Richard Clarke. Especially this strange reference (again from the 9-11 report):
9. See Joint Inquiry briefing by Mike, Sept. 12,2002.For briefings to the NSC,see NSC email,Clarke to Berger, “Threat Warning: Usama bin Ladin,” Mar. 7, 1998; Mary McCarthy interview (Dec. 8, 2003); CIA memos, summary of weekly Berger/Tenet meeting, May 1, 1998.
She apparently came to the defense of Richard Clarke once. If she is one in the same, this person has betrayed a lot of people with her actions. Maybe she will be turning on some compatriots. Addendum: more bio information here (note: please reference this site if you are using my work in your news products. Be professionally courteous). The other item to watch is the fact she sent memos to Berger and Clarke - maybe her name is on Berger’s infamous memos!
Update: Could there be a connection between the CIA firing and and the news that a key Democrat Hill Representative from West VA resigning his poston the House Ethics Committee? Coincidence? Seems like it. Except for the fact one name keeps propping up in the NSA leak investigation: one Senator Rockefeller from West VA. Probably just coincidence…"

Bet Condi was forthcoming with info about the worm, too.
Thanks. Please continue to post links to the various threads here.
