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."

FGS. Do you have to work at being unappeasable or does it just come natural to you. This thread concerns an important piece of work, it is not about bashing President Bush.

"Meaning not only did he leak, he lied to federal investigators. ... "

Yep, a lousy, lying leaker.

Thank God ... Porter's working the broom ... and exterminating the worms. Brett Baier just said that Porter said there are "multiple ongoing investigations." Hallelujah!

I agree. While the newspapers have a First Amendment right of free expression, they don't have a right to engage in criminal activities. Drop the hammer!

Fire and prosecute!

Keep them away from classified info forever, unlike Sandy Berger who can get his clearance back after the next election.

Good timing...3 PM, a Friday, after Rush. Are they trying to bury this, or what?

I wonder how Dana is feeling today? She prints the story he gave her, he loses his job and salary, probably will get jail time; and she walks away with a Prize (does that prise come with money???). What a witch (spelled with a b).

Ah, goodie. The *half-empty* glass patrol is alive and well. Please ping me when the world and W. gets it just right for you. I'm always interested in perfect world posters.

The agent fired reportedly placed numerous calls to Priest around the time of the prison leak, and failed a polygraph test when confronted. Criminal charges are reportedly possible.

Great news ... this sentiment may have already been made in earlier posts ... I hope they nail the SOB's at the Pentagon who leak as well.

I'm sure this will be the lead story on Hardball and whatever Olberman's show is called tonight.
