The Department of Justice on Wednesday announced the arrest of a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) official for allegedly leaking classified information to journalists, including one that he was apparently in a relationship with.

Law enforcement officials arrested 30-year-old Henry Kyle Freese of Virginia and charged him with two counts of willful transmission of national defense information. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.

Joby Warrick the Wash Post reporter who wrote the creative piece that spun the report on Iraqi mobile weapons labs in such a way as the minority opinion on them as something akin to redneck hydrogen plants...was made to look like the majority conclusion, and the rest of the news media dutifully followed that spin....

Come to think of it, Joby Warrick’s story that dissed the mobile weapons labs in Iraq involved a report written by the DIA...wonder if this leaker was the same one that was the source of that?

Another item Joby was involved in...was this one:

I remember VIPS had Patrick Lang from DIA: "According to FARA records Makhzoumi’s Future Millennium Foundation has employed as a lobbyist former Defense Intelligence Administration (DIA) officers W. Patrick Lang, a VIPS member with links to Lyndon LaRouche’s propaganda apparatus at Executive Intelligence Review, whom Joseph Wilson has described as 'a longtime colleague of mine'.": Wilsongate: Motive, Means, and Opportunity
