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."

What a great thread! Got home from work late last night and have been reading almost non-stop.

That loud sucking sound you hear? That is sphincters all over DC tightening up. Every one of these people is going to turn someone in to take the heat off of themselves. Before this is done, there will be no leakers unrevealed.

Sorry. I had not followed the many comments going back and forth on this posting. So no comment on above, you addressed to a number of people.

There are rumors that they (Zinni and some other generals)are urging Powell to run for President in 2008

Let'em run ... he'll never make it out of the primary

Berger, Wilson, Clarke, Clark, Zinni, Beers, McCarthy.....just a PART of the coup-plotting Democrats.

You poke a stick into their nest, and all sorts of vile creatures come running out.

This is good stuff. You'd probably get wider visibility for it if you re-post it on one of today's threads.

Good to see you and a few other freepers are on top of this story. Most of the media is clueless.

I listened to the video on the Times site....the guy reading the info acted like someone had his manhood in a pair of pinchers, it was so painful for him to report. I loved it.

I want to see charges brought then I will know they are serious, only being fired is a slap on the wrist.

Brian Williams hailed the Pulitzer-winning probes, saying this latest round "is going to spur an interest in working for the media," somewhat like what happened after Watergate. "These are great examples of great journalism that will spur young people to do it as a career."

Well .. it will spur an interest

Though it won't end like in Watergate

There is a new media in town who is tried of their BS and now has a voice to speak out about it

It would be most interesting to see a copy of his client list, wouldn't it? And when they were paying (and how much they were paying) for his services ...

It would be interesting to dig up some of his landscapes. Might find a few missing people.

The dem's have tried the "Culture of Corruption" and THAT came back to bite them, let's see them defend their "Culture of Treason"...and they are looking forward to November?

This is going to just keep getting worse

I'm hearing this whole thing was a . That means the Pulitzer was awarded to a writer who wrote about something somebody made up to catch leakers.

The phrase, "culture of treason," is so accurate that it should easily slip into widespread public use.
