April 24, 2006 - A former CIA officer who was sacked last week after allegedly confessing to leaking secrets has denied she was the source of a controversial Washington Post story about alleged CIA secret detention operations in Eastern Europe, a friend of the operative told NEWSWEEK.

The fired official, Mary O. McCarthy, “categorically denies being the source of the leak,” one of McCarthy’s friends and former colleagues, Rand Beers, said Monday after speaking to McCarthy. Beers said he could not elaborate on this denial and McCarthy herself did not respond to a request for comment left by NEWSWEEK on her home answering machine. A national security advisor to Democratic Party candidate John Kerry during the 2004 presidential campaign, Beers worked as the head of intelligence programs on President Bill Clinton’s National Security Council staff and later served as a top deputy on counter-terrorism for President Bush in 2002 and 2003. McCarthy, a career CIA analyst, initially worked as a deputy to Beers on the NSC and later took over Beer’s role as the Clinton NSC’s top intelligence expert.

Am I wrong, did she NOT confess?

She DID confess

She confessed to leaking classified documents to reporters .. one of them being Dana Priest

Rand Beers and Newsweek are playing word games with regard to the Prison story

There is no confirmation on what she leaked .. But she DID leak

HILLARY DOES NOT RECALL, DOES NOT REMEMBER, HAS NO MEMORY, HAS NO RECOLLECTION, BUT DOES NOT BELIEVE SHE SAID IT BECAUSE SHE WOULD HAVE REMEMBERED IF SHE DID.

Here is what interests me.

Mr. Helgerson likewise submitted to the lie-detector test, they said. But Mr. Helgerson's status as the independent inspector general — a post to which he was appointed by the president and from which only the president can remove him — makes his submission to a polygraph even more unusual.

The background of the authors of this piece is noteworthy:

Faulty Sources Isikoff & MSM previously used: Karen Kwiatkowski & Patrick Lang (Post 31)

In the beginning were Phil Agee and Mark Hosenball, two American journalists working in London. Agee is ex-CIA and Hosenball's father had "State Department connections". They wrote in 1975 in Time Out about GCHQ Cheltenham - the UK Signals Intelligence outfit which, astonishingly, had remained an unmentionable secret for three decades. The US and UK governments were not amused. Labour Home Secretary (Minister of the Interior) Rees decided to deport Agee and Hosenball.

See original of Post 31 for links and additional details.

I believe it's not only a shadow government, but was planned long before Clinton left the presidency in order to make a sort of placesaver for Hillary in a few years.

The biggger question is: Do you also believe that President Bush was/is unaware of that plan?

I suspect Rand is up to his neck in this.

So if she leaked to Rand, and then he carried it to the WaPo, she could 'categorically' deny leaking to the WaPo.

They really believe we're all idiots.

Wow! Good catch, Peach. Especially this quote-"Although well intentioned, that provision is overbroad and may unnecessarily chill legitimate activities that are at the heart of a democracy."

You are correct,it looks like long term planning..

I think there are laws that prohibit profiting from crimes.

She could not make a dime on any circuit because she would be prohibited from speaking in any manner about her activities.

Part of the plea bargain as well.

Just listen to Larry Johnson and see how close he comes to the line without ever crossing it. He is a bitter socialist but not stupid.

The prison at Leavenworth is not big enough to hold all of them.

I have to admit I find it very interesting that Rand Beers weighed in on this story

If Rand and McCarthy are trying to play it like that, then they are facing CONSPIRACY CHARGES TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE. I suspect the investigators are on to this and they are watching these traitors very, very closely.

This must be the official version, as vetted by the Clintonites. It didn't take long for Beers to call up Isikoff, did it?
