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."

I think this may dove tail into other leaks...I traded correspondences with LA Times writers who said they were talking with CIA people about "Plame Gate"

You're right! This has legs. Several legs.

I think poster, jrooney, is right: this woman has admitted guilt, and now she needs to save her arse --- she'll spill all she knows and name others.

Agree this has many legs she don't look tough to me

At the end of his term Clinton took a boatload of his political appointments and made them civil servants, so they COULD NOT be fired.

"At DU they are using the Whistle blower thingy as we type."

Of course they are. And the same words will soon come from the mouths of our "news analysts". She's not a whistleblower. She's a Democrat politico from the Clinton Administration who was using her post to try and damage the Bush Administration. And at the same time, she violated every confidentiality agreement she had signed at the CIA, as well as previously in her career.

Looks like Hillary is going to have to find an alternate nominee for the National Security Council.

She's already admitted her guilt. She'll need to spill to save herself. Of course, as I am typing this, I'm certain Andrea Mitchell and MSM are busy making her the victim.

; the memo to Clinton on this was cosigned by Richard Clarke and Mary McCarthy, the NSC senior director for intelligence programs, who opposed the bombing of al-Shifa in 1998. The report also notes that in their testimony before the commission, Al Gore, Sandy Berger, George Tenet, and Richard Clarke all stood by the decision to bomb al-Shifa."

What a group!

Thanks for the cyber pinch! She really is a big fish. As long as the Bush administration will pull out all the big guns so that this story cannot be swept under the rug and ignored by the drive by media, I'll start believing that justice isn't dead yet!

Still waiting to find out WHEN the donation occurred.

Might help explain it.

It was critical for Kerry to win Ohio, and Soros put bucketloads of money into this state to hand Bush the loss. I'd like to know where exactly her money went, and when.

(Fortunately WE intervened, and the rest, as they say, is histoire!. :)
