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."

On Fundtrace, I found this for Michael McCarthy for 2004:
Michael J Mccarthy Landscape Architect Michael Mccarthy Associates John Kerry $2,000 6825 Wilson Ln (map) Bethesda, MD 20817
Does the address match Mary's?

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.
THAT IS GOLD!
Thanks, Star

It is ILLEGAL for the President to fire civil service employees simply because they are democrats. This has to be the 1000th tiem I have posted this explanation, but I will keep doing it until all Freepers learn the difference between political appointees and civil service employees.

Well, since Mitchell, Plame and Priest are all in this together, it's sounds as if Mitchell is worried to have made that caveat in her propaganda piece, I mean "report"!

The United States Penitentiary (USP), Leavenworth is located on 1,583 acres with 22.8 acres inside the penitentiary walls. It is an all-male high security level facility committed to carrying out the judgments of the Federal Courts. It provides a safe, secure and humane environment for those offenders committed to its custody.
Like all Bureau facilities, Leavenworth adheres to a balanced philosophy which recognizes that punishment, deterrence and incapacitation are all valid purposes of confinement. Opportunities for positive change are provided through work, education, training and counseling for inmates motivated toward self-improvement.

I haven't been able to follow this whole thread, but I believe when I first heard her name announced on FNC, they also said she had testified before the 911 commission.

Thanks for the clarification.
