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."

Now this man/woman can join the anvil chorus of public anti-America and anti-Bush miscreants. What did Mr. Baldwin scream? "I want them dead, etc. ..."

Apparently, so.

What could be so important to these folks that they would possibly sacrifice the lives of people who have committed theirs to the defense of this country?

$$$$ and power. That is what it all boils down to. Or maybe "just sex".

[roses of sharon]

The email was in Jan? What events precipitated Goss being so mad? What leaks were there?

I need to read up on ALL of Priest's articles.

Not if she has a good defense attorney.

So I guess Mr. Kerry will be thinking REAL hard all over again about running for Pres.

This buries him.

"There will be offensive damage control tactics by those that stand to lose the most."

You mean like those numb-nutted generals that have been popping up all over the place?

[krunkygirl]

Excellent!

These are the people who think the members of our armed forces are nothing more than morons who can't get real jobs.

Always remember:

Bad news for America is good news for Democrats.

Remember Folks, Senator Rockefeller's letter that he wrote to himself reagrding his disdain over the NSA Terrorist Surveillance and he said he locked it in his safe and no one including his family knew about it?

Talking Points Memo Document Collection: Letter from Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) to Vice President Cheney regarding NSA domestic wiretapping, July 17th 2003.

It is unprecendented in the CIA .. veterans tell her they cannot recall another officer being fired. Confronted her yesterday, marched her out the door.

I want to know the REASON for not arresting her on the spot .. and allowing her to be marched out .. free to leave .. any clues???

Interesting- in the WaPo article above- it says she spoke with "other reporters" as well as Dana Priest.

Hhhmm.

[Howlin]

The sites remove stuff after a few weeks. When we go back to look for the cites, they're not there.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I wonder if she talked to James Risen about the NSA wiretapping.
