In other words, this program did not come to Mary's attention (if the allegations are true) because she worked on it as an ops officer

if the allegations are true???

I guess Larry missed the part where Mary confessed, huh?

Just trying to keep this thread focused.

I've practically been in this thread most of the day in between cleaning house, and haven't heard a word of news all day.

If you want to see a video of her lecture, it is posted here. Don't hit the download link unless you are really patient. It is big (227M). She talks about the "secret prisons" and the turmoil at the CIA. It is about 58 minutes long.

Thanks for the link ... sorry it took so long for me to see it ... lots of pings today

The possibility of abuse to savage terrorists and enemies is ALWAYS their top concern ... not this country, certainly not our brave troops or Americans. May they rot in hell for eternity. I keep getting this very paranoid thought that maybe her firing is also part of their scheme ... that this was all part of a sinister scheme. Am I totally losing it?? How could she possibly believe she wouldn't get caught??

My opinion --- she was near retirement, she was 'trusted' and she believed she was above suspicion primarily because men are most often suspected of treason. Bet that polygraph shocked the hell out of her.

There are lots of people who think they won't get caught at something

she was close to retiring .. maybe she thought she could get away with it

Then there are others who have extra baggage in their closet and it's being used against them to get information

Who really know why people do these things against their country .. in a time of war

Whatever their reasons ... it's wrong

Well, think of how many 'Rat leakers don't ever get caught..... as several articles have said, this firing seems to be 'unprecedented' for the CIA, despite all the other b.s. from there the past several years.

Yeah, I'm pretty exhausted too. I might flop on to the couch with the TV on and relax. My whole body is sore from the neck down.

I hate cleaning the whole house, cuz it's an all-day thing for me, as my feet and ankles get sore which makes my ambition wear off real quick. I really should consider doing a little bit each day, then my feet, ankles, and knees won't kill me for it. That's the cross I bear for being physically disabled.

:)

Anyway. Will catch up with you tomorrow. Nite-nite!

You could be right.

But she is not covered by whistleblower laws and she is subject to prosecution. So what is the plan on that, then? She wants to be prosecuted? Then drag the government through some kind of embarrassing court case?

I think the key is, does she rat out the other leakers or who is behind this cabal, in order to save her skin? If so, then I doubt this getting caught was part of her plan.

How could she doubt she WOULD get caught? The CIA has been out of control for many years. Could it be they thought they would just continue to get away with it?

Right. The whole left-wing should rot in hell.

For raw entertainment value, read some of the posts below Larry Johnson's piece, the ravings of various mentally unstable leftist loons, and with idiotic responses (ALL IN CAPS) by Larry Johnson after some of them. It's hilarious.

We should start a project - deciphering who is married to who in the Beltway. That way we'll be ahead of the curve the NEXT time someone pulls this garbage. For instance:

David Gregory -- Beth Wilkinson, attorney, former Clintonite.

Matt Cooper -- Mandy Grunwald, Clintonite (isn't her father some Democrat mucky-muck?).

Dana Priest -- Bill Goodfellow.

Okay, now I have a headache!

GOOD idea!
I recall such a list from years ago, but it's long lost.

Johnson,"Mary never worked on the Operations side of the house. In other words, she never worked a job where she would have had first hand operational knowledge about secret prisons."

She failed a polygraph and confessed so if what Johnson is saying is true then someone fed her the info (true or not) knowing it would leak. Sounds like a good sting op to me. I would bet that little Mary has been discussing with the MSM other things too.
