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."

Thanks. Priest is Walter Pincus' close associate and with Pincus was actively involved in reporting the Niger forgeries and the Wilson story for the Post, so identifying Priest's source in CIA is also of interest in terms of identifying Wilson and Plame's collaborators.

"...A Justice Department spokesman said "no comment" on the firing. The spokesman also would not say whether the agency was looking into any criminal action against the officer. One law enforcement official said there were dozens of leak investigations under way.

A second law enforcement official confirmed said the CIA officer had provided information that contributed to a Washington Post story last year saying there were secret U.S. prisons in Eastern Europe...."

You're confusing Dana Priest (suspected woman) with Dana Milbank (suspected man appears on Olbermann).

Yes, Olberman's show is the number one show on MSNBC now, with a whopping audience size of slightly over 500K; Chrissy's show is just bringing in just over 300K! LOL. MSNBC continues to lose money on these liars, but they keep them on the air for some odd reason. Perhaps they get a monthly bonus from George Soros.

Exactly. Big deal to fire this person, whoever it is will probably land a job at CNN/NBC/CBS/ABC or even at FNC, since they seem to be moving toward the left.

If Rockefeller's named, what would be his punishment? He'd probably huff and puff and say he'd done nothing wrong...he's a patriot, etc.. I'd love to see him drummed out of office, shamed and humiliated for life.
