It appears that one of the main sources of Washington Post reporter Dana Priests dubious November 2, 2005, story about CIA secret prisons abroad was CIA officer and former Clinton official Mary O. McCarthy, whose firing by the agency because of her leaks to Priest and other journalists has been making headlines.
She had been hired by Rand Beers of the Clinton National Security Council, who went on to serve as an adviser to the 2004 presidential campaign of Senator John Kerry. Mary O. McCarthy, identified as a U.S. Government/analyst, is listed in Federal Election Commission records as a financial contributor to both the Kerry presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2004.

Giving Dana Priest a Pulitzer is like giving an SS Officer a marksmanship medal.
To any Media reading this: There is SO much info on this case and it's tentacles all over FreeRepublic. One thread has 2700 posts with TONS of facts and documents and lists of the coup-plotters.
Pulitzers used to mean something. Just another casualty from our friendly neighborhood RATs.
You may want to link this to the outstanding backhoe compendium of related links.
It is going to be difficult for the MSM to keep this down.

Good article; thanks for posting. I sent the WAPO an email on Friday night after this story broke, requesting that they fire Priest immediately. I'm sure it went right into their delete folder. What these people are doing is beyond shameful -- they are working so hard to undermine this country and give aide and comfort to our enemies, they should all be in jail. I agree with Bill Bennet on this one; lock them up, throw away the key.
The fact that the information was classified material and possibly not even true means nothing to McCarthy. The only thing she cares about is the award, not the integrity that the award should reflect.

So did I - though I just asked what they were planning on doing. Funny - no response yet.

Pulitzers, Peabodys, Nobels...all have been essentially debased by political correctness, commercialization, and a leftisit agenda. In a way, it's kind of fitting....worthless accolades for worthless professions.
It's still nothing compared to the Walter Duranty's Pulitzer for his cover-up of Stalin's massacres.

I would think McCarthy could be brought up on TREASON charges and executed or deported ( to Iraq) preferably .
After learning how JFK got his I wonder if they ever had any real meaning.
