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.

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.

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?
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.

CIA leaker fired
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.

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.

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.

War, media and politics
One of today's big news items is the dismissal of a person at Central Intelligence for leaking classified material to Washington Post Pulitzer Prize winner Dana Priest. Pajamas Media has a really big blog roundup. Some of the choice items.
Captain’s Quarters: Plugging the Leak says: In From the Cold comments: Strata-sphere Big Lizard: Story on the leaker leaked to the press -- That's how ingrained the practice is. You have to leak about the leak.
Interesting to see who the CIA leaker is.

Let's go back to the beginning. William Goodfellow and Noam Chomsky were both on the same side downplaying the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Both were pro-Marxist, both supported Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Cong. They were not just useful idiots, both were determined Marxists. Goodfellow made an ass of himself at the 1976 Congressional hearings on Cambodia. Undaunted he then uses CIP, which he helped found, to support Salvador Allende in Chile. He continues over the decades to support Castro. He hires at CIP two of the most rabid anti-CIA types to come out of the State Department, Robert White and Wayne Smith. He fights against US support for the Contras. He makes every effort to get his buddy Anthony Lake hired as NSC chief under Bill Clinton.
The above being said, anyone who passes information on to the very left wing Dana Priest, wife of Goodfellow, knows where the information will end up and how it will be used. Mary McCarthy, who was perfectly aware of the Anthony Lake business, and certainly must of known that the information she was providing would be used by leftists to advance their cause against Bush, the CIA and its new hatchet man Porter Goss.
If the Department of Justice does not bring charges against Priest and the Washington Post for knowingly handling and reporting on highly classified CIA material in a time of war it will be in dereliction of duty.

the drive-by media is ramping up to "full spin cycle..." Yes indeed, isn't it fascinating how the price of gasoline has suddenly made front page, round the clock news? We didn't hear about them when it was a dime cheaper...why now? Oh yeah, diversion, subterfuge, distraction, cover-up....from a Clintonista story.
The drive by media was of course, holding their exploitation of the gas prices for just such a need.

WHO is the head of The Cabal?? Perhaps we are only seeing a very small section of the cabal synthesis. We have the entire Chinese section left to find yet. To date there have been quite a few Chinese and Koreans arrested, but no big breaks yet leading to the domestic section. Perhaps when we have a more complete picture we will find the location of the top prize ? In every Marxist endeavor there always was a bleeder, or I mean leader.

the Deaniacs/lunatics have NOTHING to do with this It's been my belief, since Dean was annointed, that the Limousine Libs put the Deaniacs in charge to divert attention from their actions.

Secret Prisons: NYTimes Alters Story To Favor BushCo

Sun Apr 23, 2006 at 01:20:10 AM PDT
The New York Times changed the earlier accurate version of a story on testimony on secret CIA prisons in Europe (a story first reported in depth by Dana Priest and for which she won the Pulitzer Prize) by the EU counterterrorism chief Gijs DeVries, to an inaccurate version that favored the Bush Administration.

Wonder how many internal investigations went through Mary McCarthy ? There had to have been others investigated ahead of her. Perhaps she herself was outed by someone before her who did not end up getting fired ? Perhaps the CIA has also been purged by her previous internal affairs firings ?

Oh yeah, diversion, subterfuge, distraction, cover-up....from a Clintonista story. The drive by media was of course, holding their exploitation of the gas prices for just such a need.You are absolutely right- I mentioned on another gas post that the French responded to the '73 embargo by making most of their electricity production nuclear.
We should, and could, have done the same, and then those goblins in the middle east would not have such a stranglehold on us now.
But does the drive-by media talk about that?
Nooo... they'd rather blame "Big Oil," and the President.
Pay no attention to the backstabbing, collusion, and scheming behind the curtain...
BTW, in my none too humble opinion, if all this garbage outlined by these links and stories is not sedition, and treason, I don't know what is.
