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."
William Arkin is ANOTHER creep who published our security secrets!
When Negroponte was on the other day, they made a real point of saying that his appearance was "an unusual event". Speaks volumes!!
"How much"Prosecution"was Sandy"Burglar"subjected to?Or John Deutsch??"
Hmmmmmm. Sandy Berger was on Clinton's National Security Council. John Deutsch was on it as well. So was Mary McCarthy. Is there a pattern here?
Larry Johnson...what a waste of skin.
Give money and support Weldon since the CAbalists want him gone!! And that poor Schaeffer guy in Able Danger has had his career RUINED!!! STOP THE CABALISTS!!
"I was looking at Johnson's blog last night and all the rhetoric was about how wrong it was to fire a "patriot"
Sure, she's a patriot like Benedict Arnold was a patriot. Putting her interests before the country's.
John Deutsch is a dangerous man...looks stupid, but he's evil.....gave away LOTS of secrets when he took his computer home..
Who else was on Clinton's National Security Council? We have Mary McCarthy, John Deutsch, Sandy Burglar...who else?
Why can't this traitor be arrested "today"? She clearly broke the law--as evidenced by her firing.
MARY MCCARTHY / CIA LEAK UPDATE:
There is no mention by the Post -- none -- that Mary McCarthy is a big Kerry campaign and Democratic Party contributor.
How can the WPost justify reporting one friend's mere impression that McCarthy is not biased and that it is very difficult even for those who know her well to understand why she would leak sensitive information, and yet not report the objective fact that -- after a meteoric professional rise in intelligence circles during a Democratic administration -- McCarthy, while a government official on a government salary, gave at least $7700 of her own money in a single year to Democratic political campaigns?
Given the Post's delicate posture in this case -- having been the recipient of at least one highly sensitive leak on a subject about which it chose to publish a story damaging to national security -- you would think they might perceive a special obligation to play it down the middle here. But apparently not.
This morning's story is said to have had no fewer than eight contributors -- it was written by R. Jeffrey Smith and Dafna Linzer, and lists as contributors Walter Pincus (look familiar, Joe Wilson plant), Al Kamen, Howard Kurtz and Dan Morse, and research editor Lucy Shackelford and researcher Magda Jean-Louis.
Since campaign contribution information is available on-line -- you don't even need to draft star reporters and research editors to dig it out -- is it too much to suppose that at least one of these eight folks might have mentioned, at least in passing, that this purported non-ideologue of a leaker was giving lots of money to the effort to unseat the present administration?
I'm pretty sure that similar evidence tying a leaker to the GOP under similar circumstances would get a lot of play.
Lots more at The Belmont Club -- just keep scrolling.
