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."

Oh, please do go back and read them all. There are lots of dots, and we'll need your help connecting them as we digest this over the next days/weeks.

Referring to my post at #1713, OSS CEO Praises Mary McCarthy, Calls for Censure of DNI & DCI"

TODAY Robert David Steele Vivas .. the HEAD OF OSS .. actually said THIS!!!

"Mary McCarthy should accept her firing with pride -- she served the Republic, and has been fired by individuals who will eventually be censured if not impeached. America owes her a vote of thanks. She certainly has my respect."

Un-FReeping-believable!! Treason is a good thing. We are living in a parallel universe to these wackjobs.

Samantha, you may be right. I just read this on Captain's Quarters and I have to agree. The timing of the European news release and the CIA termination could not be more interesting. Either the Euros didn't look too deep or.....?

"A Sting Operation?
Rick Moran at Right Wing Nuthouse wonders if the story on CIA detention centers might not have been a sting operation to unmask leakers at Langley. The possibility comes up because on the same day that the CIA terminated Mary McCarthy for her communications to the press, the New York Times reports that European investigators cannot find any evidence that the detention centers ever existed:"

http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/006809.php

The commentary ends like this, "We may never know if the entire story about detention centers turned out to be a smoke screen intended to reveal a leak. We certainly have no evidence beyond the McCarthy leak and Priest's story. If it does turn out to be nothing more than misinformation for a leak probe, the Washington Post and the Pulitzer Committee will look very foolish indeed."

Will this be another nail in MSM's coffin? One can only hope.

I have to tell you...just the picture of Torie Clark, JC Watts, and Bill Bennett, standing around a table at the Communist News Network, talking to Wolfie...

just makes me sick to my stomach...for some reason, it really bothers me. Sort of like they are "consorting with the enemy"...

I know that is my problem...LOL

Well they certainly know each other!

I would think she'd have mentioned it if they were related, but then leftists do have extremely low standards for revealing conflicts of interest, etc. Still given the same surname, they could not exactly hide it if they were related. What I find more interesting is the linkage Dana Priest - William Goodfellow, and Dana's husband employs a leftist loon like Mel Goodman who conducts an ongoing smear campaign against Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al.

Dana Priest is just the more 'respectable' (according to the left and MSM) side of the onslaught against the WH which includes people like Mary McCarthy, Mel Goodman, Larry Johnson, Joe Wilson, Ray McGovern, etc. etc. Not to forget Sandy Burglar, Richard Clarke, Rand Beers, et al.

We've got to unravel and expose the efforts of all of these charlatans.

Dana's hardly a little lamb. lol

More like a co-conspirator, along with her husband and what appears to be many of their friends and perhaps neighbors and co-workers.

Bill and Hillary are pikers compared to this crowd, they were just trying to extort money from old people with bogus land deals.

This is more like selling the technology to China. Only we don't yet know what they sold to their European bosses. Oil-for-Food odds, anyone?

Is Kerry the leader for this bunch, or their puppet?

Goodfellow, Goodman. What good wholesome folks they must be!
They probably work for the Kremlin.

Gosh...I guess he wants brownie points for pointing the finger at HISSELF while accusing Negroponte of no good...but, that won't work..

Did you happen to watch the "debate" on Fox News a while ago, between Martin Frost and John Kasich??

While we *do* need to sort them all out and create that scorecard, chances are pretty high that they all get their funds from the same few places.

It's quite possible that they get their marching order from the same few puppet masters.

What a roach nest! But I have a feeling Porter Goss and the good guys knew months ago what they were uncovering.

You're correct. Bill and the Beast just happened to come along and aid them with their goals. I think these folks are more seasoned lefties than the Clintos. All they need, though, is Hil to become CIC and they will be rewarded in their quest to detroy the USA.

Buy yourself a clue Larry

Larry does not qualify as a deep or complex thinker.
