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."
The White House Correspondents Dinner should be a real doozie next Saturday.
I think Beltway Boys is taped on Friday. They often omit late-breaking stories. What a shame. I'd love to have heard them hash this one over.
In exploring the website of of Mr Goodfellow, I see that Patrick Fitzgerald is apparently a hero to this CIP group. Not surprising, is it?
As of April 14:
*Lt. Gen. Gregory Newbold- retired Marine Corps late 2002
*Thomas E. White- former Army secretary forced out by Rumsfeld April 2003
*Maj. Gen. Paul D. Eaton- retired Army general
*Maj. Gen. John Batiste-former Army commander in Iraq who led the First Infantry Division, publicly broke ranks with Mr. Rumsfeld on Wednesday.
*Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper- retired Marine Corps, said in an interview Thursday he had received a telephone call from another retired general who was weighing whether to publicly join the calls for Mr. Rumsfeld's dismissal.
*Maj. Gen. Charles H. Swannack Jr.- commander of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division who led troops on the ground in Iraq as recently as 2004 called publicly for Mr. Rumsfeld's ouster on Thursday.
*Major General Riggs - called for Mr. Rumsfeld's resignation in an interview on Thursday with National Public Radio, left the Pentagon in 2004 after clashing with civilian leaders and then being investigated for potential misuse of contractor personnel.

I've noticed the media tends to be 2-3 days behind Freepers and other in the research department of gathering information
They should be all over it come Monday
Abby Lowell is a snake. I'd brand him so far Left as to be a commie.
But it wouldn't be, couldn't be Murtha, should it?
Have you alerted Tony Snow to our thread?
Could someone bring me up to date on Larry Johnson? I remember something about him in the Plame affair. But it seems like there was a point where he became like a nutty Bill Burkett and I stopped paying any attention to anything about him.
Now I can't remember what he was "famous" for. (Was it speculated that he was the "stranger" who talked to Bob Novak on the street?)
Can't have rush to judgement when a LIBERAL is involved, can we??
That's only reserved for Republicans and white guys in today's media........
Linking CIP and IPS is very significant, for IPS is truly a far-left treasonous group founded by commies and fellow-travelers. IPS is the "granddaddy" of all the leftist activist and influence groups in DC that have sprung up like poisonous mushrooms since the 1960s.

likewise on my other boards...
It seems to be a coordinated attempt to cover up for McCarthy by saying "We aren't the ONLY ones who leak!!"
We have to HAMMER HOME that while they have, and have ONLY ever had ACCUSATIONS, we have a CONFESSION, and clear documented FACTS...........
Dana Priest is obviously married to a true insurgent, unfit to be anywhere near having input to US policy. What these two are doing is nothing short of diabolical.

THIS ONE MAKES ME SO HAPPY. (Sorry for the reposting).

NEARING RETIREMENT! Poor treacherous Mary!
I think stations like FNC like to check out and verify informaiton before they report in detail on it
I don't expect shows like Oberman to cover this story in detail
Add in this particular piece from WorldNet about Sandy Berger....
Sandy Berger faces Bar complaint
Judicial Watch charges former national security adviser
Posted: May 19, 2005
6:33 p.m. Eastern
WASHINGTON – Sandy Berger, the former national security adviser who pleaded guilty to charges of stealing classified material from the National Archives and lying to federal investigators, now faces an effort to disbar him in the nation's capital.
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates corruption in government, said today it has filed a formal bar complaint against Berger with the Office of Bar Counsel for the District of Columbia Bar.
The rules of professional conduct for an attorney in the District of Columbia prohibit a lawyer from committing a criminal act that reflects adversely on trustworthiness; engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, deceit or misrepresentation; and acting in a manner that seriously interferes with the administration of justice, according to Judicial Watch.
The stolen documents were copies of highly secret memorandum, possibly with handwritten notes, that allegedly were critical of the Clinton administration’s response to the "Millennium 2000" terror plot to bomb the Los Angeles International Airport.
Berger, who was an adviser to the presidential campaign of Sen. John Kerry when the scandal broke, has held multiple national security jobs since the Carter administration and recently was a foreign policy adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Berger initially said he took copies of the classified documents regarding terrorism from the National Archives by "accident" and then misplaced them in what he described as an "honest mistake." He later admitted, however, that after pilfering the documents, he destroyed three of the five with scissors at the office of his consulting firm.
Berger is scheduled to be sentenced July 8 and is expected to be fined $10,000 and suffer a temporary loss of his security clearance. However, the deal reportedly allows Berger to reapply for his clearance before the change in administrations in 2008.
