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.

"As I sat there in the green room, I concluded that the U.S. government had to be held to account. It was unacceptable to lie about such an important issue."
It's like he could see the actor playing him in the movie going through the dramatic realization of his mission. (in a bad book/screenplay) LOL.
It's all starting to seem so transparent and obvious .. the whole setup.
Such an evil, calculating cabal.
You did wonderful!
That's wonderful!
Bump for later
According to the MSM, if it's a Democrat, they're a "whistleblower" - if it's a Republican, they're a "leaker of classified information".
