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."

After a long and hot summer of dragging all the stink out of this,....I predict a Mary McChristmas for all of us FReepers this November.

IMHO,I will probably be HIS age, and in his "condition", by the time I get to the FINAL end of Howlin's "little" thread....

"This plan details "what terrorists or bad guys we would hit if the gloves came off. The gloves are not off,"said one official, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject."

This article (and leak) would seem to be an attempt to forestall a more aggressive stance in the WOT?? Will be interesting to see if the Demagogues take on this as a new club with which to beat Rumsfeld. But I thought that Kerry, Hillary, and friends were calling for a more vigorous prosecution of the WOT?? Why haven't we taken the gloves off yet?? Because the 'Rats and MSM have worked with great energy can dedication to tie up the administration with domestic verbal attacks to make it politically impossible to take on any new targets in the WOR. Still, we shouldn't forget that some Democrats have called for a doubling of the size of SOCOM forces (without any conception of what would be involved or the probable dilution of focus and quality that could result).

If Nagin wins the General election New Orleans is DOOMED forever by their stupidity!! Do they actually think the rest of the country will want to help them out??? Buses...geesh...why is it that black people can;t vote without a bus ride??

Wilson. Priest, Goodman, Goodfellow. Clarke, Clark, Zinni. MCARTHY. the Clintons, the Kerry's....Just SOME of the CABAL!!

"OH DEAR GOD!

Did you just hear the report on FOX News about the NO elections?

Nagin is in the lead....

I don't know how the reporter could keep a straight face when she told us that many people showed up in BUSES to vote!

Some BUSES came ALL THE WAY FROM ATLANTA!

you mean to tell me- we know what a BUS is and can use them to travel across 4 states to VOTE- but......

oh for Pete's sake... why even bother finishing the sentence....

I cannot believe people's mentality.....

It's stuff you just can't "make-up", cuz hardly anybody would believe it.!!"

...OTOH, if I was running against Nagin for the "finals", it would be on EVERY SINGLE THING I DID FOR MY CAMPAIGN!!! Billboards,TV,T-shirts,leaflets, etc.

Imagine the two pics of those busses "side-by-side", the flooded one first, and the voting one next to it, with some catchy caption!!!

[Suzy Quzy]

Who's the OTHER creep?

Yes. Why didn't Dana Priest disclose the fact that her husband was head of CIP?!

Washington Post, "U.S. Decries Abuse but Defends Interrogations," Dana Priest and Barton Gellman, Dec. 26, 2002

Barton Gelman was the reporter on the Iraqi WMD hunt who got his info so wrong that an Australian General had to write to the post to point out that he wasn't even remotely involved in the hunt for WMD as claimed in Gelman's article. Also, for the same article the head of the Iraq Survey Group [ISG]'s search groups before Duelfer wrote a lettr to the editor of the WashPo asking for a correction. His source was evidently not very much in the know.

His source was evidently not very much in the know.

Or maybe his source was using him to deliberately mislead the public.
