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 McCarthys 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 Clintons 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 Beers role as the Clinton NSCs top intelligence expert.

Probably a lurker. If she signed up, she would have been outed as a troll pretty darn fast. (Hi Dana!)
Here's one report on it:

Former Aide Takes Aim at War on Terror
By Laura Blumenfeld
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, June 16, 2003; Page A01
Five days before the war began in Iraq, as President Bush prepared to raise the terrorism threat level to orange, a top White House counterterrorism adviser unlocked the steel door to his office, an intelligence vault secured by an electronic keypad, a combination lock and an alarm. He sat down and turned to his inbox.
"Things were dicey," said Rand Beers, recalling the stack of classified reports about plots to shoot, bomb, burn and poison Americans. He stared at the color-coded threats for five minutes. Then he called his wife: I'm quitting.
Beers's resignation surprised Washington, but what he did next was even more astounding. Eight weeks after leaving the Bush White House, he volunteered as national security adviser for Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.), a Democratic candidate for president, in a campaign to oust his former boss. All of which points to a question: What does this intelligence insider know?
cont'd......
Liberals and commies don't watch FOX TV productions.
We have some Freepers who dispute that this is a single community. I encourage you all to take a look at the map.
I'll be damned she does mention that thread from 2001.
They then receive Civil Service protection. At the CIA that "ain't much", but it's something. This woman has been in and out of the agency on and off for years. They probably thought they had a real, but non-partisan winner. Obviously "they" were wrong.
Remember, the guys who hired the Rosenbergs didn't get electrocuted.
Smells funny, but that's her story and I bet she will stick to it.
PREMIERE EXECUTIVE TRANSPORT SERVICES Sounds like a nice generic cover name. Kind of like Air America.

No...she lurks here or her researcher lurks here.
That was right around the time the FBI found that Russian sitting on a bench infront of State listening to the bug that was planted in a conference room. I remember thinking at the time, "Dont they sweep for bugs anymore??" Now, I wonder if it wasnt lax security and someting more sinister..
You mean like young clintooon's trip to Russia long before regular folk could get a visa to go there?
And dont forget the "Law and Order: CI" episode, where hero Vince Donofrio*gag*puke* singlehandedly discovered and took down a secret prison in Manhattan..
Must frustrate her a lot though.
Now, when you get to her husband, that's different. He's a died in the wool Marxist/Leninist.
