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.

I guess it depends on the meaing of "leak".
I looked for an image of Manuel in the proper "I know no-thing!" pose, but that was as close as I could find quickly (I'm lazy).

If you have so much time on your hands that you feel you must police this board yourself, go bitch to the other poster for not using the actual title.
I followed the rules.
Lighten up, Francis. I linked the prior thread because it had many important posts in it, and quoted the title in the link to show that it had left out the first part of the article's actual title. I'm not the one who yanked your thread from Breaking, take it up with the mods.
I used to play chess. Playing chess and bridge were requirements, right?
My problem wasn't with the mods. Nor was it with the 1100 people who read the post or the 86 people who posted constructive replies.
My comments were directed at the ONE person who complained.
I guess you aren't good with reading comprehension. My post wasn't a complaint, it was linking to the earlier thread that had several very informative posts in it that tied McCarthy to others in Clinton's inner circle. Your thread was in Breaking, lots of people were going to see it, the earlier thread was not but was a gold mine of info. The link led people to more info. The whole idea is to build on information, not get fixated with how many read your thread. Sheesh.
Maybe you are not a member of the "Already Posted" police. In case I misjudged you, my apologies.
And yes, I have been a little grouchy lately.
But my complaint still stands.
If you are going to bitch at someone, take it out on the person who did not post the correct title. Not me.
Clinton: "I never had a leak with that woman!"
She should team up with OJ..
A serving CIA official said that the day that McCarthy was escorted out of the CIA’s Langley, Va., headquarters, some former colleagues of McCarthy defended her, even while acknowledging they were not familiar with the details of the case.
Hey, Taranto (Best of the Web) used a paraphrase of my (and surely many others) comment from yesterday.
I'm so proud.
