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."

It's also possible she agreed to be a fall guy if she got caught.

It may be that there are agreements in place to fund her defense and her family.

If there are civil charges, discovery can be a beautiful thing for both sides, and you better beleive the lefties already have amicus briefs in outline form.

Remember what Clinton did to redefine and redraw Executive Privledge with his many 'throw-away' lawsuits?

Even though Goss has made these connections it's going to take some time for them to gather the evidence and do all the fun legal stuff, ie; paperwork. They probably had to get rid of big mouth Mary first because she may have been hampering the process by having her a*s sitting where she was. One thing telling me that she may have struck a deal is once she was canned, she hasn't run out there yelling,"I'm an innocent whistleblower".

It's looking more and more like a girl thing....and I've always thought that Hillary was behind it all given that Matt Cooper is married to Hillary's best friend. Matt was on his "first Whitehouse gig" when he called Libby and Cheney. Imagine that!!

ALL ROADS LEAD BACK TO HILLARY!!

I searched the web when Mary's name first came out. The only thing I could find was Berger appointing Mary. No Bubba connection! No Hillary connection!

Berger never said boo. Hansen never said boo. Mary will never say boo.

But Hillary is saying Boo Hoo...(and will hire Mary as an advisor.)

People like Mary are not doing this on their own!!! Berger wasn't stuffing his pants on his own either!!

That little dog and pony show was written long ago. And obviously it was written with a specific purpose. What was that purpose?

Why was Joe not asked to sign a secrecy statement?
Why was Joe not asked for a written report?
Why was Joe allowed to just sip tea and yet have expenses paid for an obviously bogus trip?

And why did they think this little charade would be taken at face value? As indeed it was/is!

It will be difficult not to criticize if she gets a slap on the wrist like Berger, but I guess we can at least hope that she weak enough to turn over some of her comrades.

No Bubba connection! No Hillary connection!

Which either means that this is bigger than even they are!

-OR-

That they are definatively behind it!

While the connections are going to seem strange to a point of confusion it also sounds like a bunch of CIA agents turned into gossip columnist.

Re: Drumheller from this link, Reporter defends release of NSA spy program :

Risen: I think that's for the same reason that this was a story that should be included in the speech, and that it was something that confirmed what they already believed about biological weapons. And I just think there was kind of a go fever on WMD and Iraq, and if you talk to people in the CIA, they felt that there was people like Tyler Drumheller, who raised that issue, were being ignored. And there were people who thought that the management of the CIA was kind of saying, you know, we'll find the WMD when we get there. And that that was the attitude.

She's 61 years old and any time in the pen is a life sentence which also makes her the perfect candidate for striking a deal.

I wonder how long Drumheller's been blabbing, about what, and to whom?

Lots of info on her here.

Starts with the second article down. She's connected to everything Democrat.

Irony, she testified before the 911 commission- indicated an Al Qaeda Iraq connection.

Mercy!
