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.

Or, remember David Palmer (the President) faced with the dilemma of a nuke winging it's way toward LA, or somewhere.
His only option is to nuke a Middle Eastern country out of existence, but he won't do it unless Jack Bauer says do it, so the evil enemies at the White House convince the cabinet to depose him.
Now tell me that's not the Iranian nukes story!

You mean like young clintooon's trip to Russia long before regular folk could get a visa to go there?I have said it many times before: Somewhere in a retirement dacha in the Lenin Hills, an aging KGB case officer smiles to himself everytime Clinton(s) are in the news. One of the most productive and frightening recruitments ever. They knew what he did at Oxford and saw how he behaved with the ladies on campus here in the US, and turned him with a honey trap on his vist to Moscow..

I believe Bill and Hillary got to the "party" about 3-5 years after it really got rolling. See Fenton's and Goodfellow's bios. I believe they received gold-trimmed, hand-written invitations.

"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."
I sure hope that's right, but could you explain this for those like me who don't know why that would necessarily follow? I've been wondering why Rand Beers would be dumb enough to stick his name into this at all unless the opposite were true, that he has some reason(s) to be confident that Mary McCarthy can stonewall successfully. Why should he make himself her media contact for a dramatic statement when he could just lay low and hope nothing drags him into it?

The Pulitzer prize had to be given back by the Washington Post one other time because the story ended up being false. that would be the icing on the cake!
but, also, why can't she and the paper be prosecuted for receiving and publishing what they knew was classified military/government information - esp in a time of war?
These people have to also be afraid of prosecution, or it will never stop

Doesn't stink to me...she was telling the truth...databases are treasure troves. Also she is amazed how that story was picked up HERE and discussed and fleshed out better than some news media would handle have done it.

I confessed before I retracted my confession. I voted for the prisons before I voted against the prisons. I was a liberal socialist communist anti-american treasonous tool before I confessed.

I can't pin point it ... but that speech and what she talked about smells to me You mean something like this; a month before Ms McCarthy is fired, Dana might have been told about the lie detector test (by an unnamed senior government official of course), which might have lead Ms Priest to start publicly stating other sources for her information.
Have you read anywhere how long ago the lie dectector test was taken?
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
that one was from me. I thought that rebecca donegan was the inspector general of the CIA.
I got an old web site. Sorry about that.

She categorically failed a single issue polygraph. This leads me to believe they already had the goods on her.
