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."
One more down and 3500 to go.....
We darn sure BETTER!!!
And we aren't going to let them "forget" this like they have Barrett Report or Able Danger..
"This treasonous POS needs to be made an example. Leaks will stop with his last breath."
Nah. Nothing to excess, like the case of a Poliburo member who was treated from nightly incontinence with hypnosis. The treatment was so successful that after it he couldn't pass water even during daytime - and burst.
For this leaker, lobotomy will suffice.

This is the CIA tho. You are much kinder than I would be.
You mean this may be linked to Dana Priest?
I could have a REALLy good day if that is true.
Bill Bennett will be tickled pink.
From earlier today:
EU official: No evidence of illegal CIA action
BRUSSELS -- Investigations into reports that US agents shipped prisoners through European airports to secret detention centers have produced no evidence of illegal CIA activities, the European Union's antiterrorism coordinator said yesterday.

The "all or nothing" crowd drives me nuts.
"after failing polygraph test"
Meaning not only did he leak, he lied to federal investigators. He is in just a little pickle.

Do we know WHICH Dana Priest article???
I am desperately praying that Rockefeller is involved somehow!!!
You typed too many words or you would have been first! :-)
It's a start. The note above about it being the leak to Dana for the CIA prison story is also interesting, since that story just received a Pulitzer (honoring those who give aide and comfort to the enemy). Since Dana was the source to whom this info was leaked, will her press pass be pulled as well? Lets hope so; if not persecuted for publishing classified information. We will see the media in full duplicitous mode soon, as they support the on-going persecution of Libby for supposedly leaking (even though we know for a fact that he did not). We shall see just how much this story gets any air time. New media will rock with it; old media will probably pretty much ignore it.

Well at least we now know who Hillary's running mate is in 08.
The Pulitizer Prize winner, which one was that?
PRAY its NSA!

WASHINGTON — A CIA officer has been relieved of his duty after being caught leaking classified information to the media, FOX News has confirmed.
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."
The CIA officer was not in the public affairs office, nor was he someone authorized to talk to the media. The investigation was launched in January by the CIA's security center. It was directed to look at employees who had been exposed to certain intelligence programs. In the course of the investigation, the fired officer admitted discussing classified information including information about classified operations.
The investigation is ongoing.
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.
Secret prisons in Europe.
