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."
Beers was named and pictured in this CIP report from 2000 about our involvement in the war on drugs in Columbia. Beers, as Asst. Sec. for International Narcotics Affairs, is shown and mentioned in the Administration section, Goodfellow on the last page being Exec. Dir. with CIP.
I have a friend, who when he wants to express his "displeasure" with an "individual", describes the initial "face-to-face" in this way:
"Let me put it to you like this. The next time (whoever)opens their mouth in their orthodontist's chair, the orthodontist will "immediately" recognize that he is looking at a fully paid for Mercedes....."
Thank you, Ali, for providing a reasonable narrative to connect these dots.
Standing by themselves, the dots are horrifying enough. But showing how they lead, one to the other, shows a diabolical scheme, and shines a bright light on the means, methods, and players in a long term effort to bring an end to our Republic.

Making Excuses For The Leaks
http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/006820.php
Oh .. I see ... the breakdown of the moral fiber and allegiance to their oaths of the adults working for years in the top levels in the intelligence agencies, as employees of the US Govt., who signed oaths against leaking, is because the Bush administration was so political, that they were forced to become skunks. Now I get it: THAT'S BUSH'S FAULT, TOO!!!! Surprise, surprise, surprise.

GREAT link!! Thank you!
RICHARD CLARKE
Thus it is not difficult to see why Richard Clarke, a discredited and demoted bureaucrat, would be bitter toward President Bush and the members of his administration who have carried out a successful anti-terrorism campaign, far different from the one endorsed by Clarke and the Clinton administration.
But is Clarke only a bitter ex-bureaucrat, or is there more to his attack on President Bush? Let us consider both Clarke's personal history and his current employment. Clarke now teaches at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government; here is his Kennedy School bio, which notes that the capstone of his career in the State Department was his service as Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs.
Another professor at the Kennedy School is Rand Beers, who is evidently an old friend and colleague of Clarke's, as Beers' Kennedy School bio says that "[d]uring most of his career he served in the State Department's Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs."
So Clarke and Beers, old friends and colleagues, have continued their association at the Kennedy School. Indeed, they even teach a course together. And, by the most astonishing coincidence, their course relates directly to the subject matter of Clarke's attack on the Bush administration: "Post-Cold War Security: Terrorism, Security, and Failed States" is the name of the course. Here is its syllabus:
Between them, Rand Beers and Richard Clarke spent over 20 years in the White House on the National Security Council and over 60 years in national security departments and agencies. They helped to shape the transition from Cold War security issues to the challenges of terrorism, international crime, and failed states...Case studies will include Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Iraq, Colombia, and Afghanistan. Challenges of counter-terrorism and homeland security will also be addressed.
Why is this particularly significant? Because Rand Beers' bio says:
He resigned [his State Department position] in March 2003 and retired in April. He began work on John Kerry's Presidential campaign in May 2003 as National Security/Homeland Security Issue Coordinator.
In summation, Richard Clarke is a bitter, discredited bureaucrat who was an integral part of the Clinton administration's failed approach to terrorism, was demoted by President Bush, and is now an adjunct to John Kerry's presidential campaign.

Democrats Suggest Double Standard on Leaks

Jane Harman claims to not know Mary
see my post

Well, you've been handed very slanted news and told it was fact for quite a long time.
Exactly, having incited people in the CIA to leak, VIPS can hardly sit back and try to distance itself from the result.
"Democrats Suggest Double Standard on Leaks"
I assume the Post went to the usual sources to write this article. Are they named anonymous and high-ranking?
I smell mooooooooney.
You are right...and if too many try to distance TOO far from Mary,...she just might not appreciate it...and name names....
Thanks, I'll wait patiently.
All of this is frying my brain anyway. Some percolation time is a good thing.

Glad you like the title "When Cabals Go Kaboom"....but I think it;s more than Marc Rich's money, I think it's EVIL George Soros money out the wazoo......He is an ATHEIST who DESPISES Bush because he is a Christian. And the rest of the left also for the same reason. It's really serious....our country could be beaten by these people who side with our enemies.
Prosecute to the fullest extent by law (death penalty?)!
