Ever notice that in every picture of Harkin he's always hovering *near* the action but not *in* the action and has that not quite clued-in look? A lot of the time he looks like he doesn't even know why he is where he is.

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."
That was from her bio...

He was against retaliation after Sept.11th!!!!!
September 2001
Leading Institutions Support Groups Opposing a U.S. Military Response
by Amy Ridenour
Terrorism is a tool of fanatics. It is a tool we need to break.
A well-connected foreign policy institute is circulating among policymakers a petition urging the Bush Administration and Congress to do the opposite.
The petition, by Foreign Policy in Focus (FPIS), a joint project of the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) and the Interhemispheric Resource Center (IRC), concludes:
"The greater part of victory [over terrorists] will come through our government addressing the policies, circumstances, and grievances that spark terrorist responses, particularly against America. Otherwise, for every terrorist network broken, another will take its place."1

OMG. Against retaliation after 9/11/01? He was a minority of a handful in the country who was against retaliation then.
Nope, it was a gentle hint to shut up and quit making the thread all about you and your sensibilities. And now I am not playing your "look at me" game any longer.
I want jail time.
If she DOESN'T serve time for this, then we're never going to see this kind of person serve any time. Ever. Unless, of course, they are supportive of the Republican agenda.
I've got to go do another load of clothes.

Dana Priest, UCSC alumna and Washington Post reporter, at UCSC
Submitted by admin on Wed, 02/15/2006 - 7:23pm.
UCSC Social Sciences Division Presents the Distinguished Social Sciences Alumni Award Event, honoring Dana Priest, Washington Post reporter.
Following the award’s presentation Ms. Priest will speak on The CIA’s Secret War.
Monday, March 6, 7:30 p.m., in the Colleges Nine & Ten Multipurpose Room. This event is free and open to the public.
Dana Priest is a national security correspondent for the Washington Post, where she covers the intelligence community. She is also an analyst, reporter, and on-air correspondent with NBC News. In 2003 she authored The Mission: Waging War and Keeping Peace With America’s Military. One of the first reporters on the ground for the invasion of Panama (1989), she reported from Iraq in late 1990 just before the war began and covered Army Special Forces training programs overseas, the 1999 Kosovo air war, and the Army’s peacekeeping missions in Bosnia and Kosovo.
In 2001, Dana Priest was awarded a prestigious MacArthur Foundation Research and Writing grant. The same year, she won the Gerald R. Ford Prize for Distinguished Reporting on the National Defense for her series, “The Proconsuls: A Four-Star Foreign Policy?,” and the State Department’s Excellence in Journalism Award for the same series. She was the guest speaker and host for a four-part speaking series on the U.S. Military and Foreign Policy for the Secretary’s Open Forum. She also was a guest scholar in residence at the U.S. Institute of Peace.
Her November 1, 2005, Washington Post article broke the story of the CIA’s secret overseas prisons for terror suspects.
My view is that what the MSM does is irrelevant. They're not going to push on this story, because they are, overwhelmingly, Democrats. If they would rather help the Democrats than do journalism, fine. It's still worthwhile to try and determine what the truth is here.
I am particularly gobsmacked about the fact that Ms. McCarthy was in a position, at the CIA IG, to sign off on the Fitzgerald investigation.
Did you do something really, really bad???

Heads up! There's not enough space in this whole forum for me to post McCarthy's connections.
Heh???? I found this buried in an piece from 1997
Ms. Farnsworth also wrote admiringly to Letelier of the good work that "Bill Goodfellow" was accomplishing for the revolution. She was referring, of course, to William Goodfellow, the CIP director, who is a very bad fellow. How bad? Bad enough to stubbornly defend the murderous Khmer Rouge communists in Cambodia long after most leftists had decided the genocidal slaughter was just too obvious to deny anymore.

Well, that could keep a team of researchers busy for weeks. :-)
Looks like Kerry could haveen reading off their boiler plate publications re: world opinion in 2004...
"In addition to its studies of American public opinion PIPA has conducted studies of perception of the public held by members of the American policy community, and comparisons of Americans public opinion with European public opinion on a variety of transatlantic issues."
Good find! :-)
