Secrets of the CIA

A former colleague says the fired Mary McCarthy ‘categorically denies’ being the source of the leak on agency renditions.

WEB EXCLUSIVE By Mark Hosenball and Michael Isikoff

Updated: 7:07 p.m. ET April 24, 2006

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.

Lets face it...
No matter how many facts we provide, no matter how RIGHT we may be, the Mainstream Media is going to report exactly NOTHING that helps Bush, and doesn't come with gritty footage.....

Footage like an attorney denying things....

Let's take a look at some of the moonbat spin that's already being repeated OVER AND OVER...

This should be the story of the YEAR, if not decade, and it's going away without nary a peep....

She didn't uncategorically deny being the source of the leak. I wonder what category she had in mind.

Poor McCarthy (/sarcasm). What? Her "former colleagues" (read: DEMOCRATS) are defending her? Shock! Dismay! Yep, and mothers of serial killers never think their boys would do such horrible things either.

1. A security clearance is a privilege NOT a right.
2. People who hold clearances sign an oath (legally binding) NOT to discuss classifed information with those who are not authorized.

Anybody want to bet how long it'll be before she has a book out and/or a movie deal?

No a third PARTY says she categorically deny's it...

To the Media, that's akin to a pass from Mother Teresa if it comes from an establishment Liberal......

Bush should have cleaned out all Clinton people on his 1st day of office 6 yrs ago. They have done nothing but cause trouble for him.

Mary McCarthy is a treasonous, lying, Clintonista DemocRAT. Therefore, I'm not buying her crap. She needs to be taken out and shot for selling out America to her terrorist Al Qaeda pals.

I wonder what the difference is between catagorically denying something and just denying it?

When you "categorically" deny something, the denial is valid only for that category. For example, if the category was "pet airdales" then she could "categorically deny" making any leaks because no leaks were about pet airdales. Simple yet fun!

And she'll walk. Meanwhile Airman Snuffy has bounced two checks so his clearance is yanked.

"Rand Beers? THAT'S who Newsweak went to to quote? Rand Beers was the guy McCarthy replaced at CIA!!! Then Beers went to wrk for the Kerry campaign. And Newsweak is owned by the WaPo, for which Preist works. You talk about incestuous!"

Yeah, THAT Rand Beers. They're all sh**ing in their pants right now, contemplating what could happen....including the Washington Compost.
