Investigation 'not over yet,' officials say
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A U.S. official told CNN on Monday that the CIA officer fired for leaking classified information was accused of a "pattern of behavior," including multiple contacts with more than one reporter.
Sources also confirmed to CNN that the officer fired last Thursday is Mary O. McCarthy, who last worked in the CIA inspector general's office.
"It's not just about one story, it's a pattern of activity," the official said.
Officials said the investigation into leaking to Dana Priest of The Washington Post, and other journalists, is ongoing. "It is not over yet," said one.
McCarthy admitted to multiple unauthorized contacts with journalists after failing a polygraph test, one of "dozens" conducted at the CIA since January of personnel knowledgeable about compromised programs, sources said. Those who took polygraph tests included CIA Director Porter Goss and the agency's inspector general, John Helgerson, according to U.S. intelligence officials.
A congressional aide said that prior to the public revelation that a CIA employee had been fired, the intelligence committees were only told the person was a 61-year-old female in the inspector general's office.

God Bless Porter Goss Indeed!!! GO PORTER GO!!!
Multiple of ongoing investigations.
I have a DEAR friend that is a retired Lt Colonel of the Army....
he was one of the authors of the Desert Storm battle plan....
HE IS FURIOUS!
HE WOULD BE IN JAIL if he ahd done this.....
this is the most disgusting example of cowardice that I have EVER SEEN!
I am SICK OF THE ENEMY WITHIN!
If we don't start dealing with the ENEMY within- we are BEGGING for our OWN DEMISE!
SOMEONE HAD BETTER GAIN A PAIR OF BALLS AND DEFEND THIS COUNTRY!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
I am BEYOND PISSED!
sorry... I forgot to thank you for the ping...
Thank you very much....
The best thing that can happen is that Porter Goss cleans all the klintonista leftovers out of the CIA, and sends a bunch of them to jail. Let history judge that!
;)
I'd sooner pistol whip her.
Pass the word.
sorry about that... I was a very bad guest....
;-)
"Former acting CIA Director John McLaughlin, a CNN contributor, has said any CIA employee who wants to raise complaints should address the agency inspector general or the appropriate intelligence committees, not the media.
"It is illegal to leak information. That's what you sign up to when you join an intelligence service," McLaughlin said.
EXCELLENT!!!
This is all about timing. I imagine Bush and Rove have a Chinese water torture planned for the scumbag Democrats. THIS is a piece of the nightmare that the rats knew would haunt them if they lost 2004. It's why they were so desperate. Well, they lost and now they have a problem.
The intell committee had a heads up huh?
Yeah....and 2 more years till the next election to drip...drip...drip....more "demo leakers/traitors" out of the CIA. Stragegery works!
There it is, looks great. The background is eerie and beautiful.
Nice close up
Officials said the investigation.......is not over yet,"
Is there anyway that any part of this ol' broad's actions could be classified as treason?
Depends on what the meaning of Nice is or is nice..??
