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."

Able Danger - Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Shaffer - Zelikow - 911 Commission - no documents relayed to the 911 Commission

Maybe that's what made you recognize the name.

I don't know. But the information collected in the Able Danger program ended up with Zelikow and disappeared as if swallowed by a black hole.

Lots of info on the threads connected by keyword: Able Danger

I've tried to use that proximity database search with mixed results but then again, my name isn't Anthony Shaffer.

I am so far behind I could scream. But want to throw this out: Hubby's been gone the weekend and came in a while ago-says, "Watcha working on?" "CIA Coup", I replied. He responds (semi-seriously but joking),

"Oh noooooooooo, now they'll be coming to the house."

Star, this is a freaken viper's nest that's been stirred.
