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."

Nothing would surprise me .. and I mean the most heinous, diabolical things we can imagine. There is NO shame there and no depths to which they won't sink. This is truly a satanic force ... pray for God's armies of truth.

"FYI, three blogs with connections to four senators have shut down... back up your info. Flopping Aces (who had all the links up to Rockefeller and the rest), down."

Probably because they don't want to publish all the obscenities that are being posted to their comments sections, and they need time to collect their thoughts and get their story straight.

Good grief.

Have you seen the new headline story at the WaPo?

New Plans Foresee Fighting Terrorism Beyond War Zones

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has approved the military's most ambitious plan yet to fight terrorism around the world and retaliate more rapidly and decisively in the case of another major terrorist attack on the United States, according to defense officials.

The long-awaited campaign plan for the global war on terrorism, as well as two subordinate plans also approved within the past month by Rumsfeld, are considered the Pentagon's highest priority, according to officials familiar with the three documents who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about them publicly.

Details of the plans are secret...For example, SOCOM has dispatched small teams of Army Green Berets and other Special Operations troops to U.S. embassies in about 20 countries in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America, where they do operational planning and intelligence gathering to enhance the ability to conduct military operations where the United States is not at war....

Dana Priest's husband is an anti-war activist, William (Bill) Goodfellow, Executive Director, Center for International Policy

Just doing a little "drive by freeping" while on the road, may get a chance for an hour or so on the big thread tomorrow."



Thanks for the correction and clearing that up for me ..

Though speaking of Weldon .. and Berger who hired Mary

Berger has been doing heavy fundraising to get Curt tossed in the election with this guy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Sestak
In July 1993, Sestak reported to the office of the Chief of Naval Operations as the head of its Strategy and Concepts Branch. From November 1994 to March 1997, he was the Director for Defense Policy on the National Security Council staff at the White House, where he was responsible for national security and defense strategy, policies, programs, interagency and congressional coordination and regional political-military advice. In May 1997, he became the commander of Destroyer Squadron 14.

I don't think I have ever hated anyone but I'm truly getting close. These people don't care what they do to this country. It's all about political agendas and many of them work for the MSM and/or married to them.

"Leonard Downie Jr. said....as a general principle, obviously I am opposed to criminalizing the dissemination of government information to the press."

Oh, so it's okay to leak secret info to the press, for whatever partisan reason you may have, but it's not okay to leak it to anyone else. I'm glad we've got that straight.

The permission should be set to 644 using the CHMOD command from a FTP "file attributes" command, or if you run an FTP session through a command prompt window, just issue a CHMOD 644 *.*

IM BACK UP, my hosting company fixed it.

Cooli-o. :)

Musta been a corrupt htaccess file. Generally fixed at the hosting end by overwriting a corrupt file with a working one on the same server.

Hey Rod .. thought of you last night. Cspan-2 had on seminars on national security issues at American University. Guess who was seemingly a student in the audience .. and got up and asked the 2 different speakers questions???? Lt. Col. Tony Shafer!! He didn't say his name or refer in any way to Able Danger, but was asking questions about the intel agencies in DOD and CIA.

He recounted an event when he made was that he personally briefed CIA head George Tenet, and when he said he was military, Tenet said he couldn't deal with any military intel operation, point being the wall between the 2 agencies.

Do you know what he's up to?
