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."

""I have a request. While I may engage in public discourse, my wife and my family are private people... they do not wish to be under the glare of the cameras.""


Colossal arrogance.

I wonder if the person that places the seating arrangements will change them to put the WaPO..and ABC News right in front of the dais...so Bush can look down and SMILE BROADLY at all of them...

THAT would be a HOOT...especially if Dana and hubby have the nerve to show up after this embarrassment.

	April 19th, 2006 -- SCOTT McCLELLAN RESIGNS, WHY AND WHO’S NEXT IN LINE? Today, the President announced the resignation of Scott McClellan, Chief Spokesman for the White House, a post McClellan took over from Ari Fleisher in June 2003. Rumored potential successors include Rob Nichols, the former Treasury spokesman, and Victoria Clarke, the former Pentagon spokeswoman. SheSource expert, Lisa Caputo, Press Secretary to First Lady Clinton and Deputy Assistant to President Clinton from 1993-1996, is available to comment on the McClellan resignation from one of the toughest and most contentious public roles in the White House.

	Last week, Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Tehran was "presently conducting research" on the P-2 centrifuge, boasting that it would quadruple Iran's enrichment powers. Since then, the international community has been struggling to interpret Iran's rhetoric and ascertain the facts. Is there a diplomatic course of action? Jessica Tuchman Mathews, president of the Carnegie Endowment for Peace, has a 30-year career in international policy with a focus on arms control. She served as Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations where she ran their Washington program and as the Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs under Clinton. She is currently a trustee of the Nuclear Threat Initiative.

Think about these linkages (below) from Soros, Heinz-Kerry to Fenton Communications to Win Without War and the Iraq project done with IPC which prominently featured Joe Wilson...... Dana Priest is not just sleeping with the enemy...... we have found one of the motherlodes of funded propaganda against the Bush WH and the War on Terror.

From the frontpage.com article linked above:

"In addition to progressive non-profits associated with Win Without War [ME: foremost of which is the "Center for International Policy" founded and run by Dana Priest's husband, Wm. Goodfellow], Fenton Communications flaks for the politically motivated wealthy patrons who fuel their efforts. Fenton has a client list filled with America's richest, most left-leaning philanthropic organizations. They include the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, the Ford Foundation, The Blue Moon Fund (formerly the W. Alton Jones Foundation), The Heinz Foundation and George Soros's Open Society Institute. Fenton Communications undoubtedly crafted Win Without War with its left wing clients, like Soros and Heinz-Kerry, in mind. Through non-profit coalition members, John Kerry-supporting billionaires are free to dole out taxpayer subsidized millions to oust the Bush administration without spending limits and scrutiny from the Federal Election Commission.

Leonard Downie Jr. said....as a general principle, obviously I am opposed to criminalizing the dissemination of government information to the press.

The arrogance here is breathtaking. This is the dissemination of classified information. It is already a criminal act.

I am overwhelmed.

Mac Ranger has been listening in on the internal investigation regarding the leaks of the criticial Terrorist Surveillance Program run by the NSA and the CIA programs to transfer suspected terrorists into US custody. The focus is coming down on two heavy weight Democrat Senators: Rockefeller and Durbin.

This source expands on the Washington Post story and confirms some of Mac Rangers information that these two US Senators (and their staff) may be facing polygraph tests.

I'm unable to think of these people as Americans. I see them as our enemy within.

That sounds about what I remembered...I knew there was some "tie" from Larry Johnson to FR.

[Grampa Dave]

You really do a great job of mining this data and posting it for us!

Thanks!

Lordy Lordy let it be.

Amazing that no one in the "news" media - Washington DC Beltway Division - ever thought it was "newsworthy" to mention that Pulitzer Prize winner Priest was married to such a radical leftie. If any writer was married to a far right activist "thinktanker" it would be common knowledge and fodder for sneers by late night comedians.
