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."
Yeah...I am sure that Chrissy Matthews will be ALL over this tonight....LOL..../sarc
Wonder if $$$$$$ were exchanged for this leak?
ROFL!!! Priceless
Ha. This coming from someone who calls himself "for-q-clinton" and has "(If at first you don't succeed keep on sucking until you do succeed)". Not sure why you thought Howlin was trying to be funny. She was just making a simple statement.
So which Dems are on the phone right now and who's shredding like crazy??
Why prosecuted?
Too late for prosecution for since being fired, this CIA worker is undocumented....
Shredding machines all over DC are humming right now, delete buttons being pushed etc etc
Are you this dumb?
I hope he has a long ponytail and itty bitty John Lennon glasses. THAT would complete the fantasy!
We want NAMES! We want DATES! We want to rub it in! ;) The person was working for the CIA & they thought they couldn't get caught? That's not good.
We're at war so I believe this is nothing short of treason. Time for the firing squad.
Her "prize" hopefully will be taken away:
From earlier today:
EU official: No evidence of illegal CIA action
BRUSSELS -- Investigations into reports that US agents shipped prisoners through European airports to secret detention centers have produced no evidence of illegal CIA activities, the European Union's antiterrorism coordinator said yesterday.

How long before he's hired as a political analyst by one of the cables. And I'm not ruling out FNC either.
I would bet that the Fellowes Shredder company has orders from Durbin and Rocky's offices in the fax.
"Send shredders, lots and lots" is the gist of the fax to Fellowes.

I'm hoping Rockefeller is next.
I wonder if giving the Pulitzers to people for stories based on leaks was meant to deter any official investigations (like in the Valerie Plame case) of those leaks.
Fired? Is that all? Fired? He should be sharing a jail cell with Aldrich Ames.
Bret Baier was just on Fox and said that Porter Goss announced this to the CIA employees yesterday...and that yes, it was the Dana Priest story that got her the Pulitzer Prize...
I bet I know how they will spin this...they will say that the CIA agent leaked it...Dana wrote it...but, that STILL indicts the Bush Administration for the "illegal prisons"....not mentioning the article posted that says there is no evidence of them...except to say..that if they didn't exist, why would a CIA agent leak it???
