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, for one, want the leaker's NAME!!!! Betcha NO reporter will give us his/her name!!
I found a "Michael McCarthy" who is a retired Air Force general, but who knows if there's a connection.
I am so excited, I hit private message...lol.
A quick perusal of the statement.

I really, really, REALLY hope that Fitzgerald is on the good side of this investigation.
Wonder if Ms. McCarthy is buddies with Valerie Plame?
Yes, Mo. I will ping you to all the important stuff I come across.
It's Riverfest here in town, but I won't be gone long.
:)
She's quite the character, eh?
Exactly
Yep.
Late in the game, relief pitchers have certain pitches they use. Maybe this is a knuckleball.
Folks, remember the FORGED Niger Document that said Iraq did not attempt to buy uranium? It was allegedly given to the CIA by the French and kepot in a safe for 6 months.
Maybe she was part of this forgery or knows who was. Whomever is tied to this document tried to stop the war Iraq.
Sounds like treason.
I wonder that as well, and also with Ms. Pulitzer Dana.
Question to Dana Priest: How does it FEEL to win the Pulitzer at the expense of your source LOSING his job???
I don't recall her testimomy and I can't recall ever seeing her, can you?
Jim Angel reporting her name and the fact that she testified to the 9/11 panel.
We'll get a pic of her shortly.
