The further you look, the worse it gets.

It's up to us, and the blogosphere, to keep hammering on this- the drive-by media is ramping up to "full spin cycle..."

Leaking at all costs

Yesterday Rush Limbaugh recalled John's Standard column of this past November: "Leaking at all costs." It's time for another another look. The column opens: THE CIA'S WAR against the Bush administration is one of the great untold stories of the past three years. It is, perhaps, the agency's most successful covert action of recent times. The CIA has used its budget to fund criticism of the administration by former Democratic officeholders...

TOM MAGUIRE REPORTS on a Washington Post online chat regarding Mary McCarthy.

Dana Priest: Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop--The Pulitzer now has as much credibility as the Nobel. They are reserved for people who can prove they will stop at nothing to hurt the United States.

"I'm starting to believe there are more traitor revelations coming .........."

I'm going to point you to my post on another thread...another possible angle. One I've been pondering for several years. DID THE DEMS COLLUDE WITH FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS TO UNDERMINE U.S. FOREIGN POLICY (AND BUSH)? Remember their major '04 campaign plank: Bush alienated our allies! But were those allies being coaxed along by the Dems in their opposition?

The article I link there was a single blip in an obscure Norwegian newspaper. But the fact that it included HILLARY, BIDEN, and other DEM Bigs caused me to save it and often wonder what became of it and what it might mean today.

Drop Everything and Read This One
AllahPundit has unquestionably the best post I have yet seen on the McCarthy leak, he connects all the dots and provides the background, the players, and the ramifications to come.

For anyone who has not been following this story as it has broken over the last three days, this is as good a summary as you are going to get. And after reading it, you WILL understand why this may be the biggest story on the Blogosphere so far this year. As I said earlier: prepare for Rathergate II--except this is going to be even bigger,

Do yourself and your country a big favor:
READ IT ALL. I repeat: READ.IT.ALL.

Four years of the condor

A.J. Strata notes the sudden ubiquity of former CIA agents seeking to take out the Bush administration: "More rogue CIA agents in the media." A.J. writes:

If I was the paranoid kind, I would think ex-CIA agents and NSC members are trying to instigate a bloodless coup d’etat. I am not there yet. But with McCarthy’s firing as the first publicized peron caught (or should we say confessing) to discussing classified matters with reporters without authorization (is that accurately worded so McCarthy lawyer Cobb can’t pull a clinton-esque spin job?) it is interesting to see who is coming out and about in the media...
John and I have been writing on matters related to A.J.'s post for a while. I devoted a Standard column to the subject in "Three years of the Condor." John took it up in his Standard column "Leaking at all costs."

UPDATE: A.J. backpedals a bit in a major update/addendum that now leads the post.

The Wilson, Rockefeller, & McCarthy Ties--Very interesting stuff going on in the Mary McCarthy files. It appears many of us missed a few important connections: One aspect of her background so far comparatively unexamined is her West African uranium connection. She served in a key government position concerned with West African nations producing yellowcake uranium at the same time that Joseph Wilson was working in the area. During his time in Gabon, Wilson must have been deeply knowledgeable about uranium production and trade there, and must have been familiar with officials of the French energy giant COGEMA, now consolidated into the French Areva Group, a firm closely involved with the French government which appoints members of its board. Joe Wilson has his own French connection. Speaking of dealing in commodities, this whole affair brings us back to square one and Mary McCarthy. One of her previous employerswas Beri, SA. Possibly by coincidence Beri provides a Mineral Extraction Risk Assessment service...Could the Wilson-McCarthy-Africa connection may indicate another instance of US intelligence and Foreign Service personnel taking advantage of regulatory loopholes and lax security in third world countries for personal gain? Macranger, the former intelligence official, believes he knows what is coming next: In the coming days you will see why Senator Rockefeller HAD to make such an emergency visit to Syria in 2002. For a little tip, read here.

 --The story now has everyone's attention due to the Mary O. McCarthy story. It blasted out the headline: CIA Holds Terror Suspects in Secret Prisons!--  DAN RIEHL says that Dana Priest was channeling 2002 in 2005.   As I said in an earlier post on the issue: let's go back to the start.  Also keep in mind that many countries and the EU have investigated this and claim there were no such international facilities. Whether that is true or not is debatable. But the WaPo entirely ignored, not only their own 2002 story but any subsequent criticism and denial, as well. The Thai PM also called for a retraction in late 2005, which went largely unnoticed by the MSM in the US.  And just as a matter of curiosity, why is it that the above article is no longer available at the Washington Post on line? Archiving, most likely. At least I hope so. Fortunately, a web site archived the article, as did others -

Ain't it the truth.

Last night, after watching Brit & the Panel, I clicked to 'Hardbowel' to see things 'as they really aren't'. 'Spits' Matthews had an 'update' on the CIA Leak Story!

No... it wasn't about Mary McCarthy... it was more of the same hypothicizing on whether or not Karl Rove was to be indicted.

The bullsh_t never stops... it's a daily cycle. Network DNC/hacks respinning the spin in the evening... that was spinned by the print DNC/hacks in the morning.

STEPHEN SPRUIELL: "As regards the firing of CIA official Mary McCarthy, the Washington Post is in the same untenable position that the New York Times was in during the Judith Miller episode — the editors know something they're not telling, but they go on reporting the story as if they don't know."

Dana Priest's Troubling Connections

Jennifer Verner points out a number of Pulitzer-winning Washington Post reporter Dana Priest’s Troubling Connections

Read the whole thing...

link: 49 comments  " So a legacy media  ( AKA, LLL3 moonbats, Drive-By Media, MSM, Tired Old Media ) hack is a raging lefty with a severe case of BDS? Huh. Excuse my failure to look shocked."

You ought to check out AJ Strata and Flopping Aces - those two have this story pegged and Priest's actions are highly questionable.

Others to look at: Tom Maguire and Mac Ranger (just keep scrolling).   Here's another connection. If you go to this link and scroll down to the 2nd book review, you'll see the Open Source Intelligence guru, Robert David Steele write a glowing book review for a Dana Priest book... After reading about Dana Priest's connections in Jennifer Verner's article, one has to wonder...
