WASHINGTON (AP) -- The CIA officer fired last week for unauthorized contacts with the media denies allegations that she provided information leading to The Washington Post's award-winning story on secret CIA detention centers, according to a friend speaking on her behalf.

"She was not the source for that story," said Rand Beers, who has talked with his former colleague, Mary McCarthy, a veteran intelligence analyst.

[neodad]

That means he was. Fire him, too.

When Rand Beers quit his job as counter-terrorism advisor to President Bush, and signed up with John Kerry's presidential campaign, he quickly became a hero to Democratic Party loyalists and the "Anybody but Bush" crowd.

Alright, then just what in tarnation did the traitorist hack leak?

[Howlin]

He was already "let go" when he had to admit he lied to a Congressional committee.

He immediately went to work for John Kerry.
