Just breaking on Fox...

No details, but the agent was caught dead to rights leaking....

Update: CIA Officer Fired for Leaking Classified Info to Media

WASHINGTON — A CIA officer has been relieved of his duty after being caught leaking classified information to the media.

CIA officials will not reveal the officer's name, assignment, or the information that was leaked. The firing is a highly unusual move, although there has been an ongoing investigation into leaks in the CIA.

One official called this a "damaging leak" that deals with operational information and said the fired officer "knowingly and willfully" leaked the information to the media and "was caught."

One has to suspect that she was caught following a long career of "chatting" with the Wash Compost and the NY Slimes. Keelhauling her would be a good option.

"I tend to think that Berger saw these memos from Clarke, and realized that the fact that nothing was done would be an embarrassment to the Clinton Administration. So he, Berger, decided he was going to "sanitize" the Archives file before it got to the 9/11 Commission. How he got away with doing this is one of those great untold Washington stories.'

Wouldn't it be a "hoot", if the reason that Sandy got "off" was because he gave Porter's folks Mary's name in exchange for his "slap-on-the-wrist", instead of having to live with a new "roommate" for 20 years at Levenworth????

It's a woman and an old Clinton appointee. I love it!!

As I've said all along...All benefits from weakening the Republican Party flow to Hillary.

I just know the smartest woman in the world", (cough, cough) is behind all these leaks. These people leak "on command", not on their own. And don't forget...Matt Cooper (of Plame fame) is married to Mandy Grunwald who is Hillary's best friend, media advisor and Bubba's old "campaign manager".

It was Kerry's ex-brother-in-law I was confusing Beers with. Sorry for the confusion, folks. :-/

>>>>Julia Thorne met Johnny Kerry when he was at Yale. Her twin brother, David, was then and remains one of Kerry’s closest friends.>>>> from here: http://www.washingtonian.com/capital_comment/2004/0904capcom.html

Beers is someone who Kerry met while in Washington.

"I feel a great tremor over on the dark side of the force"

Makes me sick to see how the news is SO limited in their coverage. What the he(* are all those journalists getting paid to do? Take news wire reports off the fax machine and re-read them? It's exciting and mentally invigorating to try and keep up with all the facts and nuggets of information printed here at FR>

I don't think she'll sing. She's seen waaaaaayyy too many people get off with a slap on the wrist and she's a girl. She saw her old boss, Sandy Burglar SKATE!!! Why would she sing? But at least the logjam has been broken.

Maybe, JUST maybe, Berger hasn't "skated" from ALL criminal exposure..........(and I would dearly love to be able to change my tagline). ;)

I thought the leak pertained to the detention camps in foreign countries. They said the media was the Washington Post. Didn't the author of that article get a Pulitzer prize or something?

It's all about coup-plotting also! And Zinni is in on the coup-plotting by trying to take down Rummy. Now, were those OTHER Generals and Col. Ralph Peters ALSO coup-plotters or just bandwagon jumpers?

Zinni is acting as a surrogate for Powell who hates Rummy. Powell brought Zinni over to the State Drepartment after Zinni retired. He became our special Middle East envoy.
