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.

"The officer has acknowledged unauthorized discussions with the media and the unauthorized sharing of classified information," said CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano.

This backing-off spin is not surprising. Of course, the media are more than willing to assist. It's 'the meaning of is' all over again.

Nevertheless, I wonder if Mary took the bait on a false story? So the CIA could find out who was doing the leaking to the NYT and WAPO? If this was a sort of internal psy-op setup, she could be the little fish that becomes bait herself for bigger fish.

She confessed to lying during the lie detector session.
Her confession could be admissible since it was not extorted but voluntary.

All she had to do was deny lying, have her clearance revoked and go home. (IMO)

But, if they had other info on her, the so-called "dead-to-rights" stuff, then her confession would have probably have been witnessed by a lawyer and she is in the process of copping a deal.

She failed a polygraph. Even if she isnt the one who told Priest, someone did with leaked information. If this was a sting, and that info was farmed out to individuals with variances in the story line, and hers was the version that came back, she's busted..

They probably told her that all that would happen "with them" is she would be let go if she admits it so she did and then left. She then realized that they honored their word and passed it on to the DOJ for prosecution. The prosecution now has probable cause for search warrants and subpoenas and everyone around her is freaking out so now she's denying it.

M. McCarthy categorically failed a polygraph...

All a conventional polygraph can tell you is that someone is in a psychologically stressed state - if it could tell whether someone was big "truthful" we wouldn't be "water-boarding" people, we would just strap them into a polygraph, play ten-thousand questions, and get much better information than can be extracted by torture.

It will be absolutely b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l if there are no such prisons but Goss baited a trap with it to see which rat they'd catch.

Has she taken lessons from John Kerry? This flip flopping on her confession is really something.

Very scientific and detailed, yet I add that she was/is a 'contruting-Democrat' supporter and, therefore, coupled with a failed agency-adminstered polygraph (which I have taken) IS a LIAR, plain and simple....

McTraitor Ping!

".......because the polygraph evidence was likely unusable, any effort by prosecutors to make a criminal case against McCarthy would therefore have to be based on an entirely fresh reconstruction of evidence from other sources. The sources indicated that it was possible, though by no means certain, that prosecutors could still put together some kind of case against McCarthy from evidence untainted by the CIA polygraph inquiry that led to her firing."
