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, thanks, I've been confusing Clarke's donations to Andreasen with Wilson's donations to others.

according to officials familiar with the three documents who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about them publicly.

The three are either suffering from galactic stupidity, or this was administration-authorized.

a law enforcement official confirmed there was a criminal investigation under way and said the CIA officer had provided information that contributed to a Washington Post story last year saying there were secret U.S. prisons in Eastern Europe


Where does Libby figure in to this story?!!!

This has got to stop. Reports like this can very well cost the lives of some of these troops.

John Lehman

Isn't he a close relative to the Bush family?

"She'll be St. Mary before long .. they'll TRY to whitewash her crimes .."

Yes, please, join in her defense. She failed two lie-detector tests and then admitted to leaking to Priest. And the information wasn't even accurate.

"Chris Wallace has on Jane Harman, the Ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee...surely he could ask her about this...doncha think??"

I'll bet Jane Harman is under a lot of pressure right now to side with McCarthy.
