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."
Oh, that would be great!
Goss also said this endangered the nation, and it had to stop.
Someone needs to ping Mark Levin to read this thread for his show!
OHIO democrat party!
Great find!
Have Andrea or any of her fellow DNC stenographers started referring to McCarthy as a "whistleblower" yet?
cosigned by Richard Clarke and Mary McCarthy, the NSC senior director for intelligence programs, who opposed the bombing of al-Shifa in 1998.
@@@@@
Brilliant researching!
That I do not know.
Bush should have cleaned out all high level Democrats in Government....I think Clinton did the reverse. It has bit him in the butt!
Mary wrote a book on Ghana...is that where Joey Wilson was AmbASSador?
Hah!
3, 2, 1...
OMG!
I am deliriously happy.
All of us must bookmark this thread!
Mark already did read the MSNBC article on the air.
Sometimes you just get a good vibe about people.
I knew little about Goss when Bush appointed him but went right to the mat for him. And he's delivering. I only wish he'd been there since 2001. Still, he's got three more years to wade through that den of snakes. Plenty of time to at least take out a few of the worst vipers in the mix.
By the time Rummy is through with DOD, Condi with State, and Goss with the CIA we'll have made some significant progress.
Ohio pepople should get on the phones and see what they can find out! Molly, ask your hubby if he has heard any academic dirt on this woman.
Want to wager whether Porter Goss will be invited to guest on any of the Sunday shows?
The leak pertained to stories on the CIA’s rumored secret prisons in Eastern Europe, sources told NBC. The information was allegedly provided to Dana Priest of the Washington Post, who wrote about CIA prisons in November and was awarded a Pulitzer Prize on Monday for her reporting.
Sources said the CIA believes McCarthy had more than a dozen unauthorized contacts with Priest. Information about subjects other than the prisons may have been leaked as well. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the firing.
CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Millerwise confirmed the dismissal. Millerwise said she was unsure whether there had ever been a firing before at the agency for leaking to the media.
Citing the Privacy Act, the CIA would not provide any details about the officer’s identity or assignments.
All CIA employees are required to sign a secrecy agreement upon being hired stating they are prohibited from discussing classified information with anyone not cleared to receive the material.
...or a strategic card being played at exactly the right time?
Some of us were discussing Marc Grossman on several other threads the other day - #3 man in the State Dept., college classmate of Joe Wilson, and his quotes have popped up in quite a number of news articles pushing Joe Wilson's b.s., including the ridiculous "revenge motive" attributed to the WH (wanting to 'punish' Joe Wilson by outing his wife). IMHO, Grossman is one of the first people outside of the CIA who needs to be grilled by investigators, if they haven't been doing so already:

Don't forget that Joe Wilson KNEW about the FORGED documents BEFORE our govt did!!!!
No, Isuzu Joe had the very, very high profile post of ambassador to Gabon.
