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."

I think your hypothesis is about as close to the truth as we will likely get. This seems to be another "None Dare Call it Treason" time. There are bound to be layers of more treason throughout the government but smoking out even one sorry anti-American is a great victory for the country.

Johnson worked with both McCarthy and Plame -- if it walks like a rat and talks like a rat and smells like a rat -- I think there is a network within the CIA that has been doing it best to loose this war and blast this President.

Nope, wrong group. McCarthy is/was CSIS. Jeez, can't tell the think tanks without a scorecard.

Can't you just see Wolfe in horizontal stripes after three days in "the box" because of a "failure to communicate"?

These passages from the 9/11 Commission Report are interesting.

Page 117

Mary McCarthy, the NSC senior director responsible for intelligence programs, initially cautioned Berger that the “bottom line” was that “we will need much better intelligence on this facility before we seriously consider any options.” She added that the link between Bin Ladin and al Shifa was “rather uncertain at this point.” Berger has told us that he thought about what might happen if the decision went against hitting al Shifa, and nerve gas was used in a New York subway two weeks later.44

Page 128

The original sealed indictment had added that al Qaeda had “reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the Government of Iraq.”109This passage led Clarke, who for years had read intelligence reports on Iraqi-Sudanese cooperation on chemical weapons, to speculate to Berger that a large Iraqi presence at chemical facilities in Khartoum was “probably a direct result of the Iraq–Al Qida agreement.” Clarke added that VX precursor traces found near al Shifa were the “exact formula used by Iraq.”110This language about al Qaeda’s “understanding” with Iraq had been dropped, however, when a superseding indictment was filed in November 1998.111

I think she's going to come down with a very severe case of Suicide very soon...

Too many big Dems and Clintonistas connected to her to let her live...

It's the Clinton Way.....

You wrote: What I'm seeing on my other boards is that Libs are getting desperate as the realization that this is serious begins to hit them....

To this point, they have not realized that all this is not a game nor is it a tit-for-tat nor is it about who is in power in this country. This war is serious and deadly! If they are just now realizing how serious these leaks are they are more foolish than I thought.

Public records show that Ms. McCarthy contributed $2,000 in 2004 to the presidential campaign of John Kerry, the Democratic nominee.

One of the major obstacles to effective intelligence is excessive secrecy, McCarthy said.

“There is a worry about their information being compromised which is quite logical but they also worry about losing their bureaucratic advantage,” she added. “Knowledge is power.”
