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."

When did the "Secret Prison" story come out?
The article stated that the investigation has been going on since January.

I agree.
If the reporter is guilty of accepting confidential or classified information, their press creds should be pulled immediately and if possible, should be prosecuted.

Whatever newspaper or person accepted the info, knowing that it was classified is as guilty as the agent. I'd expect a lot more to come on this....and a wide range of leaks.

Exactly. He needs prosecution, not merely to lose his job.

It might be more fitting if the former agent was sent to one of the secret prisons
I would like to see CIA "turn" one of these leakers and get him on the staff on the NYTimes (or as Katie Couric's man-servant :-) ).
Then they could indict the whole foul MSM nest in a juicy treason trial.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I find no news of this on WashPost or MSNBC, or CNN for that matter.

Thanks. I see no link from MSNBC. The DUmp saw it. I'll keep checking MSNBC to see if they have the story.

Ah, I should check it out, too busy fantasizing to get facts, LOL, sorry, I should be more careful. (remember when FR was just a tiny forum where we could gossip with one another)
I do, but those days are gone.
