Oh, Limbaugh, you haven't mentioned this...From reply #2993 on this thread, courtesy Jane Austen:

CIA Fires Officer For Leaking Classified Information to Media

For Immediate Release November 4, 2000

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

Today, I am disapproving H.R. 4392, the "Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001," because of one badly flawed provision that would have made a felony of unauthorized disclosures of classified information. Although well intentioned, that provision is overbroad and may unnecessarily chill legitimate activities that are at the heart of a democracy.

~~~~~SNIP~~~~~~~

Similarly, the legislation may unduly restrain the ability of former Government officials to teach, write, or engage in any activity aimed at building public understanding of complex issues. Incurring such risks is unnecessary and inappropriate in a society built on freedom of expression and the consent of the governed and is particularly inadvisable in a context in which the range of classified materials is so extensive. In such circumstances, this criminal provision would, in my view, create an undue chilling effect.

BTW, note the date.

I’m wondering if McCarthy wasn’t a political appointee (short termer), who then got transformed into a permanent bureaucrat by Clinton, right before he left office?

It sure sounds like she might have been:

Her appointment by Berger:

Article on the Clinton miracle:

Insight on the News: Hey, Orkin Man! - political appointees becoming part of the bureaucracy
http://www.looksmartbonds.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_39_16/ai_66356292

“Between October 1998 and June of this year, 57 people appointed to their high positions by the White House, usually because of their ideological affinity with the president, underwent sudden, seemingly miraculous, transformations into professional civil servants, according to a General Accounting Office (GAO) study. Although not unknown during other administration changeovers, the practice of “burrowing-in” is being watched closely by some on Capitol Hill who worry not only about whether it’s unfair to career civil servants and violates merit-system protections but whether the lingering presence of such moles might not leave an indelible ideological stamp on the supposedly nonpartisan machinery of government.”

Sorry, I should've specified. I just posted Jane's.

[Mo1]

I hope he goes in depth who Dana Priests hubby is.

Me too!

[mewzilla]

Thanks!!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

I am fimiliar with that thread, thanks! IMHO, where there's smoke there's fire and Ms. McCarthy is just the beginning. There are many more former Clintonista's at the CIA and elsewhere in the government. (crossing fingers)

[hipaatwo]

HERE HE GOES!

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

William Goodfellow :)

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Here he goes!

[LibertyLee]

The Beltway crowd is so inbred. It's finally coming to light how incestuous these reporters and their shills in the bureaucracy are.

[Mo1]

He's talking about Dana Priest now

[mewzilla]

At least 53 left apparently.

[Clint N. Suhks]

That's quite a remarkable rant on you seeBS eye LOL!

[CedarDave]

Fox showed Brit with his head in his hands not believing how dense Juan was. Besides his defending leaks of classified info as first amendment rights, he was equally dense on supply and demand. Juan saying crude oil production at record high but have high prices. Brit and Bill tried to explain that demand was even higher meaning the price was going to continue to rise. Juan would have none of it. Stubborn or dense, take your pick.

[Mo1]

I heard ... and I think all my neighbors heard me yell .. YES! when he brought up William Goodfellow .. LOL

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Let the games begin!

[Republican Red]

Does sound like he's armed with Freeper research.

I wish Rush would do an appearance on Meet the Press.

Russert wouldn't extend the offer though. Russert would end up peeing in his pants if Rush was a guest.

[hipaatwo]

I'm so glad FR helped him with his show research :) Now if we could only figure out his screename..LOL

[Eagle of Liberty]

BTW, note the date.

First thing I looked at.
