To all: in piecing together Mary McCarthy's connections to numerous other parties to the leaks and scandal-mongering of the left, let's look for every possible way in which she and Dana Priest have interlocking connections with the people who brought us Pflamegate, NSAgate, Prisongate, etc. etc. The names of Sandy Burglar, Richard Clarke, Rand Beers, Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern, Joe Wilson, and similar charlatans have been popping up all over the place.
It may seem like a mere tangent for discussion, but I suspect when she went back into the CIA after being out of government, she sought and obtained the senior position in the IG's office of the CIA with the SPECIFIC PURPOSE of becoming the "deep throat" of the hate-Bush mongerers of VIPS, Pflamegate, etc. She wanted to both coalesce and organize the anti-Bush officials still within the CIA and become (she hoped) the secure conduit of their info and attacks to MSM.
Remember that she was out of government (left in the NSC) in the summer of 2001 and would seem to have had a future path of liberal foundations and think tanks, academic fellowships, etc. Yet, in a most curious manner she returns to the CIA a couple of years later, still under the hated Bush administration, to take a high position in the most sensitive IG's office, where she would be privy to all kinds of sensitive internal investigations and secrets.
Maybe she was just hankering to serve her country again, yeah right.....
It may not seem to matter to freeper investigations of particular threads of background of Mary McCarthy and others around her, but I think that an overarching hypothesis that she was actively seeking to sponsor and coordinate the anti-Bush forces from high within the CIA, and that's why she went back, may lend energy and focus to our efforts.
One of the articles about her post-government life after 2001 had a friend mentioning that Mary McCarthy was thinking of pursuing "public interest law" as a new career. That's usually lefty-speak for working on 'progressive' causes....
A working hypothesis: Mary McCarthy went back into the CIA, against all odds (how many former officials return like that, and especially under an administration that they hate), specifically to sponsor and coordinate anti-Bush forces from within.
Again, you may think it doesn't matter to have that more general 'conspiratorial' hypothesis when we already know some of the outlines of what she did do, but I think it's helpful to consider how these traitors think about things when looking for overall patterns of their behavior.
Question: Your husband [human rights activist William Goodfellow] runs the Center for International Policy, so he must know a lot about what went down in all those Central American countries we were pals with. Did some of those techniques come from there? What does he have to say about all this?
Priest: What his organization does is to advocate, but they're based in Washington, so they do a lot of things with policy makers and people on the hill.

Dana Priest calls for Peace Corps for the 21st Century
"We need to call for a policy solution," she said in an interview. "We need a Peace Corps or a Vista Corps for the 21st century. We need people who are trained with the rigor of the military ... but who can establish a transitional judicial system, build an infrastructure ... or do police work."

I think she's going to come down with a very severe case of Suicide very soon...
Too many big Dems and Clintonistas connected to her to let her live...
It's the Clinton Way.....
Any chance you two could get a team of people from the Myers-Briggs/personality profiles list to help with cataloging some of this information?
We've got a ton of folks pulling good stuff off the internet and starting to connect some nauseating dots, but the info will be more useful of we can create some visuals for networks/people/organizations/cash flow as this roach nest is uncovered.
Thanks for any help or guidance you can share. :-)
