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."

Dana Priest - writer at WP, authored the secret prison story, female

Dana Milbank - writer at WP, clownboy, male

Milbank wore the orange outfit and made a fool of himself.
Priest just made a fool of the country

Noticed that the NSA and other agencies requested this search for a leaker. Sure looks like Rockefeller might get bitten....and the "select" Dems that got his "treasonous" memo. That would surely include Hillary.

All benefits of weakening the Repubs flow to Hillary. She has to be the hidden character behind all this leaking stuff.

Now, the question is: Will the WAPO fire Dana Priest for printing classified information that was meant to support our enemies? Or will they support her efforts to undermine the WOT and our troops?

The end of 2005???

That still would fall into the timeline...if Priest wrote the story in November of last year, right??

Predict that not only will no criminal charges be filed but the turd will keep his (or her) bloated retirement benefits. Could even "land" another government position.

The NSA and other agencies had requested the probe

Several somebodies are screwed. They will not get the Sandy Berger treatment, because real Americans got hurt over this.

I doubt that; he will be in big trouble. My question is: Will Dana Priest be in big trouble? The WAPO has to take a stand -- they support our country or they support the enemy. If she stays, we know the answer; if she goes, we can hope they FINALLY will get on the right side of the WOT.

I really don't think Russert wants to talk about CIA leaks.
The topic hits too close to home. It wouldn't surprise me if Scooter Libby's lawyers transcribe each tv appearance by Russert in case he lets something slip.
