This is not to replace your great thread yesterday.

My intent is to name the fired official for those who may have missed your excellent thread or failed to gather her name.

Please ping the great contributors of your thread last night so they can add more detail to this one.

Lets not let this get buried on Free Republic.

Thanks

I like see Andrea Mitchell's name on the byline of this story. I gotta believe this development puts a little fear in the heart of those who know the leakers in the CIA and who receive the leaks with glee.

Let the American people ponder on the standards of Pulitzer prizes and journalism when the objective facts are that the CIA source (leaker) damaged national security. This McCarthy has been outright fired and may be prosecuted for actions to which she admitted and which are unambiguously illegal.

And contrast Scooter Libby who was not only not guilty of leaking (only inconsistent testimony which is either lying or quite plausibly imperfect recollection), not only that, but also the underlying situation in no sense hurt national security.
