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 suspect the next thing we'll see & hear is this agent's face as they go public everywhere saying "I am a whistleblower" and was "fired for disclosing information about this Administration's illegal activities."

No shame. No sense of decency. This person's handlers will no doubt tell them the best defense will be an aggressive offense.

Wasn't that the gameplan for the NSA folks? Ridiculously in my estimation it seemed to work for them.

Thanks kcvl!

Howlin...that "operational" word is BIG...because I know that even in the classified hearings that were given to the Congress re: the NSA program..AFTER they pitched a fit...

they were NOT given "operational" information about the program and Rockefeller and others were FURIOUS..that they weren't...

So...that word "operational"..is a BIG hint at the seriousness, IMHO>
