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."

Lets hope so.

Since most of us have been down these paths before, we know to never get too excited and it takes time to neutralize these anti American Bastards.

FYI, three blogs with connections to four senators have shut down... back up your info. Flopping Aces (who had all the links up to Rockefeller and the rest), down.

It appears my blog Flopping Aces has been hacked and I'm not smart enough to fix it. Everytime I try to get into my server it returns with "550 can't change directory to /public_html: permission denied"....anyone have any experience with this?

"You mean this may be linked to Dana Priest?"

For some strange reason, lines beginning with "they were seen in a gay bar together..." keep coming to mind.

I thing that part of Berger's deal was to roll over on Mary McTraitor and a few other of his rat buddies.

If that is true, he might as well move to an island with no one there.

Thank you .. the strength of this site is in the #'s who will hunt for those obscure but possibly bombastic clues that could make a difference. We know many in the media come here .. we could be providing the fodder of truth that could make a difference, and that's so critical in light of the massive domestic conspiracies we're seeing before our eyes, while we're at war with foreign terrorist who are also trying to destroy US.

I urge all to get involved as much as they can ... looking for links, running down leads online, and we can certainly email, call and fax our Congress critters, the talkshows, etc. The country we save maybe our own. It's the very least we can do. Eagles up!!!

Update from Chickenhawk
http://chickenhawkexpress.blogspot.com/2006/04/leakers-liars-goodfellow-priest.html

Leakers & Liars - Goodfellow, Priest, McCarthy and Wilson

One of my favorite blogs, Sweetness and Light (http://www.sweetness-light.com/archive/dana-priests-husband-gets-joe-wilson-media-gigs/), has uncovered an incredible connection between Dana "secret prisons" Priest and Joe "liar" Wilson...

Seems that Dana's husband is William Goodfellow. He just happens to be the Executive Director of the Center for International Policy (CIP).

What is the Center for International Policy (CIP)? Sweetness and Light went to Discover the Networks connect the dots...
http://http://www.sweetness-light.com/archive/dana-priests-husband-gets-joe-wilson-media-gigs/

"Before 9/11, CIP, a Fenton Communications client, mainly acted as Fidel Castro’s greatest “think tank” ally. Much of its million-dollar budget was spent lobbying to end economic sanctions and travel restrictions against Cuba.
Now, it has another mission. Fenton has established a “war room” with CIP called The Iraq Policy Information Program (IPIP). Its main job is getting the anti-Bush foreign policy message out to the media and providing guests for talk shows. A featured speaker of the IPIP is former ambassador Joe Wilson, one of the Bush administration’s most vocal enemies. "
(extreme tip of the hat to DB at Sweetness & Light - YOU ROCK!)

Un -freakin'- believable! Now we know that it was not just the destruction of the Bush Administration this crew of leakers and liars wanted. They were just as determined to undermine the United States of America. BTW Fenton Communications is the PR hack for Cindy Sheehan. Oh what a tangled web we weave...

Who is Mary McCarthy? [The Great One, Mark Levin, weighs in...]
NRO ^ | 4/22/2006 | Mark Levin


Posted on 04/22/2006 12:03:40 PM PDT by Uncledave


Who is Mary McCarthy?

Well, as of this morning (Saturday) most of the big media don't care. They're fixated with the weather and gas prices — and anything else that will divert the public's attention from the stunning revelation that a Sandy Berger crony has apparently been leaking top-secret information from her high post at the CIA. The media will continue to downplay this story as they cover-up their own role in exposing our nation's secrets, including the supposed existence of CIA prisons in Europe. She'll be called a "whistleblower" and praised as some kind of patriot (a patriot, in the eyes of the media, is anybody who undermines this administration and the war effort by leaking national security secrets to them). They will downplay that McCarthy was a Clintonoid who somehow managed to land a top post at the CIA, ultimately winding up in the CIA's Inspector General's Office, from where she could monitor CIA internal investigations of, well, leaks, among other things.

The news spin, to the extent attention is being paid to this by the big media outlets, is that McCarthy's firing is unprecedented! Or it's Bush's fault! In one of the most absurd comments by any newsman anywhere, Newsbusters.org notes that Bob Schieffer of CBS Evening News asserted that “it is no secret that the current administration does not like its people hanging out with news reporters without permission” and he described the firing as “a first — a dubious first, to be sure.” Here. Is this guy for real?

If she leaked she must be charged. I wonder what Schieffer would say then? I suppose he would urge that she receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. After all, the Washington Post's Dana Priest, who apparently served as McCarthy's stenographer, was just awarded the Pulitzer Prize.

I must say, however, that the media's sickening hypocrisy knows no bounds. They came to the defense of Joe Wilson and his wife, Valerie Plame, who worked behind-the-scenes to get her husband that “fact-finding” trip to Niger. They demanded an investigation into who “leaked” Plame’s identity to Bob Novak — which ensnared their own reporters. They hoped they would critically wound the president, and they failed. Clearly Plame was not undercover and the revelation of her identity was not a crime. Lewis Libby now stands accused of lying about a crime that never occurred and the media think that’s a good thing.

Now comes Mary McCarthy, who apparently leaked real classified national-security secrets and the media largely dismiss it or defend it. They have no curiosity about McCarthy, the extent of her leaks, to whom she leaked (beyond Priest, did she leak to other reporters, members of Congress, other governments?), how she secured top security posts, and her ties to the Clinton administration. Surely there is every reason the government should pursue this investigation at least as vigorously as the Plame matter has been pursued. Dana Priest, among others, should have her day before a grand jury.

And watch the congressional Democrats follow the media’s lead. Long ago they put party and power above victory in this war. McCarthy’s ties to Clinton threaten to take attention from their unrelenting attack on the Bush administration and their claims of incompetence in the management of the war, which they see as their ticket to majority status in 2006.

Putting that aside, the discovery of McCarthy does make you wonder how many more of her ilk have squirreled themselves into the bureaucracy, from where they seek to undermine the country.

What gender gap? I thought that there was a huge percentage of women in the news media?

From this link, for 2002:

Women are still one-third of all full-time journalists working for the traditional main- stream media, as they have been since 1982, even though more women than ever are graduating from journalism school and entering the profession. Among journalists with fewer than five years of work experi- ence, 54.2 percent are women, outnumbering men for the first time. Among all journalists, the largest proportion of women work for newsmagazines (43.5 percent) and the smallest for the major wire services (20.3 percent) and radio (21.9 percent). Women compose 37.4 percent of television journal- ists, 36.9 percent of weekly newspaper journalists, and 33 percent of daily news- paper journalists.

Compared to the U.S. civilian work force in 2000, journalists are considerably less likely to be women (33 percent vs. 46.5 percent) and even less likely when compared to the overall U.S. managerial and profes- sional work force, which included 49.8 percent women in 2000. Retention, then, is an issue.
