CIA Leak, Mary McCarthy Link Roundup
various FR links & quotes | 04-23-06 | The Heavy Equipment Guy

Posted on 04/23/2006 4:11:03 AM PDT by backhoe

The original mega-thread:
CIA Fires Officer For Leaking Classified Information to Media
I think this is as big as rathergate.   Dana Priest's Pulitzer has just turned to dust. Not only that,  the Pulitzer's are finally dust themselves...it is up to us and others to find out, because  the Drive-By Media will ignore the story.
Let's Play Connect the Dots

Let’s connect some dots in the Mary McCarthy CIA leak tale, shall we? (Hat tip: WordWarp).

Mary McCarthy leaks the secret CIA prisons story to Dana Priest, in what may have been a sting operation.

Mary McCarthy and Joe Wilson served at the NSC together at the same time, both with African portfolios.

Does Dana Priest’s Husband Get Joe Wilson Media Gigs?

Did Mary McCarthy Send Joe Wilson To Niger?

 Let's not forget that Mary McCarthy was appointed by ol' docs-in-socks himself, Sandy Berger.

In From the Cold Scroll down and read how high Mary McCarthy really *was*

I found an old site in which a Charles Allen spoke at Harvard all about Open Source intelligence and in it he mentioned Mary McCarthy and her views that were similar to his here.

Just go to this site. It's bigger than you think.

 Read this.

Michelle Malkin has a little piece on this on her blog but also she links to this piece from NRO with has more information on 'who is Mary McCarthy?' and her connections to Sandy "Sox" Berger.

Here's the piece from Michelle Malkin's blog which also speculates on whether or not Mary McCarthy was the one who got Joe Wilson the Niger trip:

Look what I found on the web while surfing through links provided to other links: A PR announcement that Sandy Berger appointed Mary McCarthy:

So lemme see if I have this straight so far:
We have Mary Mcarthy who was appointed by Clinton
We have Sandy Berger who was appointed by Clinton
We have the real Joe Wilson, who was appointed to some African nation and then Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for African Affairs at the National Security Council by Clinton
We have Valerie Plame Joe Wilson's wife, who joined the CIA while Clinton was president
and we have Dana Priestly who got her information from the aforesaid Mary Mcarthy,
and we have William Goodfellow, husband of Dana Priestly who gets Joe Wilson speaking engagements.
Tom Clancy eat your heart out.

Selective Leaking

Tom Joscelyn brilliantly lays out a prior instance in which CIA agent Mary McCarthy, the leaker just fired from the CIA, entered the public record: her involvement in the bombing of al-Shifa, one of the targets in Sudan that the Clinton adminstration attacked in 1998.

http://www.instapundit.com/

TOM MAGUIRE: "The NY Times seems to think the political contributions of the sacked CIA officer are significant, but their investigative skills are apparently a bit rusty, since they are about $7,500 light in their reporting."

UPDATE: Lots of bloggers are jumping on this story: More here, here, and a big roundup here.

I'm pretty sure I know what the talk-radio folks will be talking about next week.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Still more here.

MARY MCCARTHY AND JOE WILSON?
By Michelle Malkin   ·   April 22, 2006 01:19 PM

Ace of Spades asks:

Did Mary McCarthy Approve Joe Wilson's Trip to Niger?

Curt at Flopping Aces points to a F/R commenter, Timeout, noting some interesting portfolio overlap:

Mark Levin weighs in.

A Pulitzer for a False Story

Washington Post journalist Dana Priest won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on the “CIA secret prisons” story; in this interview the “prisons” are described as “gulags” and Priest seems to have no problem with it: Dana Priest on secret gulags, CIA and war. (Hat tip: Doss.)

Now that an EU investigation has found no evidence of illegal CIA action, will her Pulitzer be revoked—since the story for which it was awarded was false?

Don’t hold your breath.

But this time the McCarthy is waving a list of known... patriots.

Leaks and the Leakers that Leak them

CIA FIRES OFFICER  MARY McCARTHY OVER ALLEGED LEAK

This is an egregious crime. It was operational, not just classified info. She put lives in danger, c**t. She disclosed top secret information. Jail time is too kind. Think about it.

Piece of advise for the Bushies...............FIRE ANY ONE THAT WORKED UNDER THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION, I mean really.

Strata-sphere has the straight dope here, an incredible post actually.
The latest fired CIA employee is Mary McCarthy, (one of many to come, I understand, apparently the Department of Justice said they have DOZENS of leak investigations ongoing);

Until July 2001, she served as special assistant to the president and senior director for intelligence programs on the National Security Council (NSC) Staff, under both Presidents Clinton and Bush. More here hat tip x-dhimmi

Over at Lucianne, THE SECRET WAR AGAINST PRESIDENT BUSH

Excellent complete overview over at Flopping Aces here, and important read;

... Dana Priest, who also won the George Polk Award and a prize from the Overseas Press Club this week for her articles, declined to comment Friday.  She apparently came to the defense of Richard Clarke once. If she is one in the same, this person has betrayed a lot of people with her actions.  More here...and Flopping Aces points out, lest we not forget what Porter Goss said;

Porter Goss told the Senate that these leaks had damaged our intelligence gathering capability and in so doing our national security:

Wilsongate: Motive, Means, and Opportunity

From my files:

Wilson (as Ambassador to Gabon) had/has connections to the Gabon Chief of State, Omar Bongo, who was the chief African ally of the French oil company TotalFinaElf, a major beneficiary of the Oil-for-Food bribes. Prior to the Iraq War, they had a contract with Saddam's regime worth an estimated 12.5 to 27.0 billion barrels of oil reserves. Also he had connections via the Middle East Institute and Rock Creek, both of which are Saudi controlled.

Wilson's wife Jacqueline was also apparently a lobbyist for Bongo and it seems Wilson was pretty chummy with Saddam's weapons buyer, having dinner with him on the eve that Kuwait was invaded in 1990. She is now an advisor to Bongo, her picture from a 2005 conference can be found here That makes it very clear that there are connections to oil-for-food. No wonder Wilson can afford his lifestyle.

The Secret War Against President Bush (John Gibson)
 
Who is Mary McCarthy? [The Great One, Mark Levin, weighs in...]--Well, as of this morning (Saturday) most of the drive-by media don't care. They're fixated with the weather and gas prices — and anything else that will divert the public's attention from the stunning revelation that a Sandy Berger crony has apparently been leaking top-secret information from her high post at the CIA.
The blogs are all over it. See Ace of Spades HQ and follow the links. The bloggers are reporting that the WaPo is carrying a story in Sunday's edition indicating that the investigation by the FBI is widespread, and that Rockefeller and Durbin and their staffs will be asked to take polygraphs, and that reporters who published the leaks may be subject to prosecution.

Mary McCarthy Identified As CIA Leaker

The identity of the CIA leaker fired for passing classified information to Washington Post writer Dana Priest has been revealed.

The officer flunked a polygraph exam before being fired on Thursday and is now under investigation by the Justice Department, NBC has learned.

Intelligence sources tell NBC News the accused officer, Mary McCarthy, worked in the CIA's inspector general's office and had worked for the National Security Council under the Clinton and and George W. Bush administrations.

The leak pertained to stories on the CIA’s rumored secret prisons in Eastern Europe, sources told NBC. The information was allegedly provided to Dana Priest of the Washington Post, who wrote about CIA prisons in November and was awarded a Pulitzer Prize on Monday for her reporting.

Sources said the CIA believes McCarthy had more than a dozen unauthorized contacts with Priest. Information about subjects other than the prisons may have been leaked as well.

The sleuthing has begun ;

The report of the 9/11 Commission notes that the National Security staff reviewed the intelligence in April 2000 and concluded that the CIA's assessment of its intelligence on bin Laden and al-Shifa had been valid; the memo to Clinton on this was cosigned by Richard Clarke and Mary McCarthy, the NSC senior director for intelligence programs, who opposed the bombing of al-Shifa in 1998


Ace has pulled up the campaign contributions. No surprises there.

Peaceful Tomorrows, Leftist Todays
By Thomas Ryan
March 17, 2004

Fenton Fenton's Visual Map
 

 

  • Directed the anti-Bush media blitz for the group September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows
  • Radical anti-war protestor and Communist journalist
  • In the 1960s, was a media specialist for the Liberation News Service and a photographer for the Weathermen, a domestic terrorist group
  • In the 1970s, orchestrated the "No Nukes" concerts
  • In the 1980s, worked in media relations for the Communist regimes of Angola, Nicaragua, and Grenada
  • His company, Fenton Communications, assists in the public relations strategies for MoveOn.org and Win Without War

David Fenton, the man who dictated the direction of a March 2004 media blitz on behalf of the anti-Bush and anti-war organization Peaceful Tomorrows, was a 1960s radical/anti-war protestor. He began his "journalism" career as a photographer and media specialist for the Liberation News Service, which was named in admiration of and loyalty to the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam. The anti-American, Communist movement Fenton and his colleagues emulated called for the "overthrow [of] the camouflaged colonial regime of the American imperialists and the dictatorial power of Ngo Dinh Diem, servant of the Americans, and [to] institute a government of national democratic union [in Vietnam]."

Aside from covering various aspects of the counter-culture and anti-war movements, Fenton and his Liberation News Service associates, headed by Allen Young and George Cavalletto, were active supporters of the left Fenton was a member of the White Panther Party, counterpart of the Black Panthers. In the 60's and early 70's, Fenton also snapped photographs for the Weathermen, a terrorist cult which bombed the National Guard offices in Washington, D.C., the U.S. Capitol building, the New York City Police Headquarters and the Pentagon.

The Weathermen, later known as the Weather Underground, took over Students for a Democratic Society, the largest leftwing students' group of its day, in 1968 and closed the organization down, saying that it had "Smashed the Pig," The Weathermen thought SDS was too reformist and wanted to launch a race war in America, to hasten the Armageddon in which the Third World would wreak its revenge on the "Amerikkkan" beast. The Weather Underground was a terrorist organization which issued "War Communiques" and set out to "bring the monster [the U.S.] down."

The latter 1970s saw Fenton's foray into the anti-nuclear movement. His left-wing work throughout the decade culminated in his orchestration of the famous "No Nukes" concerts, which were headlined by performers Bruce Springsteen and Bonnie Raitt. This Western "disarmament" movement greatly pleased the Soviet Union.

By the 1980s, Fenton was a hot commodity. He was recruited to shape and mold the public perceptions of Communist-led governments and Marxist guerillas alike. The year 1986 found Fenton in the throes of the Communist-led Angolan government's Bureau of Information and Propaganda. He was hired to sully the reputation of a right-wing rebel group that the Angolan Communists had been fighting against for years. Fenton did similar public relations work for Nicaragua's Sandinistas. The Communist-backed Sandinistas regarded themselves as integral to a proletariat revolution in Nicaragua. To this end, Fenton provided necessary guidance in the public relations department in an effort to sway favorable opinion about this Marxist faction. Rounding off his Communist ties, Fenton conducted media services for Grenada's Prime Minister, Maurice Bishop. Bishop was a staunch supporter of Fidel Castro and his Marxist government in Cuba, and sought to repeat that government's philosophy in his own homeland.

Since 1989, Fenton and his company, Fenton Communications, has been largely preoccupied with creating media strategies for left-wing groups, including one of his primary clients, Environmental Media Services. Its anti-biogenetic message, which claims that genetically engineered foods are dangerous to eat, has made millions of dollars for Fenton's clients, which include such health food producers as: Whole Foods Markets, Honest Tea, Kashi Cereal, Green Mountain Coffee, and Rodale Press, a magazine publisher of periodicals concerning organic gardening and foods.

This approach has also worked for ice cream producers Ben & Jerry's, another client of Fenton's. Starting with a series of press conferences in the late 1990s, Environmental Media Services promoted the idea that a hormone given to dairy cows to produce milk could cause cancer, despite the fact that the FDA had shown the hormone to be safe. Ben & Jerry's ice cream stood to gain from the bad press aimed at the dairy industry because their ice cream is made with hormone-free milk.

One of Fenton's most publicized achievements was his 1989 attack against the producers of Alar, a preservative used in apples that he  erroneously reported as carcinogenic. The misinformation Fenton fed to the news media triggered mass hysteria and caused the apple industry to lose over $200 million in revenue. Later, in a memo uncovered by the Wall Street Journal, Fenton bragged, "We designed [the campaign against Alar] so that revenue would flow back to the Natural Resources Defense Council from the public." The Natural Resources Defense Council was another of Fenton's primary clients. 

In recent years, Fenton has expanded  his clientele, which now includes antiwar and anti-Bush groups. Trevor S. Fitzgibbon, Director of Media Relations for Fenton Communications, assists in the public relations strategy for MoveOn.org, MoveOn.org Voter Fund, and Win Without War. According to Fenton Communications, "Fitzgibbon's messaging and PR efforts on behalf of MoveOn.org have helped position the online advocacy group as a national political force in American life." Arlie Schardt, a senior consultant at Fenton Communications and chairman for Environmental Media Services, served as Al Gore's national press secretary during his first presidential campaign. Fenton's recent addition of Peaceful Tomorrows to his list of clients marks yet another notch in his political bedpost, despite the claims of its members to be nonpartisan.

Peaceful Tomorrows, Leftists Todays," written by Thomas Ryan and published by FrontPageMagazine.com on March 17, 2004.

From Sweetness-Light

"Mary McCarthy’s Peculiar Defenders April 23rd, 2006

On ABC’s This Week With George Stephanopoulos, former fellow CIA analyst, Ray McGovern said:

"This a matter of principle where she said my oath, my promise not to reveal secrets is superseded by my oath to defend the constitution of the U.S."

This vouchsafing had been preceded by this article in the Washington Post: Sunday, April 23, 2006 By R. Jeffrey Smith and Dafna Linzer

"Moe" Johnson

Larry Johnson, a former State Department counterterrorism expert who worked briefly for McCarthy at the CIA in 1988, said Saturday that if McCarthy was really involved in leaks, she may have concluded that the investigation was “a whitewash, and why not tell the press?

… I am struck by the irony that Mary McCarthy may have been fired for blowing the whistle and ensuring the truth about an abuse was told to the American people.”

The Post article was cued when the mother ship of our one party media, the New York Times, posted this defense of Mary McCarthy:

Colleagues Say C.I.A. Analyst Played by the Rules By David S. Cloud April 23, 2006

Larry Johnson, a former C.I.A. officer who worked for Ms. McCarthy in the agency’s Latin America section, said, "It looks to me like Mary is being used as a sacrificial lamb."

But who are Ray McGovern and Larry Johnson?

For one thing, they are both members of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), whose purpose is to get current and former intelligence officers to break their oaths and the law, and to leak secrets to hurt our military and national security."

Valerie was in the agency, but not at Langley. She went to Langley, and management type stuff, in the early 1990s.

There's a difference in the kind of work the field folks do and the coffee breaks at Headquarters. No doubt that colored the writers note ~
