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.

Yeap I have been keeping up on the different threads regarding the leaks.
Looks like she is going to take people down with her when she goes.

I guess she's not the noble whistle-blower the MSM tried to make of her.

Howlin I read that she admitted to being the source to some journalist, prior to being escorted off the property and losing her clearance.

"Am I wrong, did she NOT confess?" To a different leak.

And the Drive-by-Spin starts...
Can't prosecute because of 5th amendment rights...
What they can do is take her clearance and probably deny her pension.
And they know of NUMEROUS UNLAWFUL meetings and disclosures.
Where does the trail lead?

If he contacted her I'm sure it wasn't to offer moral support. I'm sure he needed to know what's she's said and to give her a "subtle" suggestion to clam up.

It might just start waking up even some libs - nah.
But it might get some of the short attention spanned, one "MINE" issue conservatives to pause and realize we have a lot going on here that is crucial to the very survival of a free US - which mean a free world

It is a criminal case. A major felony case. Of course the evil b*tch is denying it. I am sure Hillary has lined up a top legal team for her girl Mary's defense.
Just part of Hillary's criminal gang.

I never have fully understood what 'categorically' deny means.
It sounds too much like a Clintonesque parsing or Kerryite nuancing.

We really shouldn't be so hard on her; this is probably her first leak, after all.
WHY ISN'T SHE IN JAIL?????

Prost.. she did sign that documents regarding not releasing classified documents.
Seems to me they can get her on that. It must be a felony.

This is positively Kerryesque:
She confessed to being the leaker before she denied it.
Typical treasonous 'Rat-b@$tard.

After reading this article I feel like I've taken a ride on a gyroscope -- it's all spin.
To: Roscoe Karns
It is not surprising that Michael Isikoff is helping to circle the wagons in McCarthy's defense. By the end of the week he and others will probably be campaigning for her to get her job back.

"Help me out here, I thought she confessed on the Dana Priest story.......did she not? If not, what DID she confess to?" Dana Priest has done more than one leak story on more than one topic, and will do more (at least, until more of the rot inside the CIA has been cleared out).

There was a former CIA guy on with John Gibson who wanted the same answer.

Which is why her hiney should have been immediately hauled off the to hoosegow....where the spin meisters and dead fish deliverers couldn't get to her...then she'd be more likely to spill her rotten, traitorous guts
