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."

Oops. Sorry. I see that Miss Marple already clarified. :)

DEMOCRATS 'cannot' BE TRUSTED WITH NATIONAL SECURITY AND THEIR WOMEN ARE TREACHEROUS TOO!

CSIS=Coup-plotters!!

Let's see if she's persuaded to cooperate with the names of the other worms in her nest.

She's one I'd honestly like to see shipped offshore for questioning.

I totally concur, STARWISE. Perhaps some other countries' 'interrogation methods' might get the info out of her......

Did Bush get rid of Clinton's political appointments?

Did you forget to add 'ugly?' ;)

I suspect the next thing we'll see & hear is this agent's face as they go public everywhere saying "I am a whistleblower" and was "fired for disclosing information about this Administration's illegal activities."

Let them. It will be good to our side. Let's see the Democrats run in November on a platform of being nice to terrorists.

"Mary McCarthy, the NSC senior director for intelligence programs"....

You're right! This has legs. Several legs.

I think poster, jrooney, is right: this woman has admitted guilt, and now she needs to save her arse --- she'll spill all she knows and name others.

[roses of sharon]

Good, he doesn't come on here until 11pm.

The MSM will ignore this, so our guys will have to pushback hard.

[STARWISE]

pretend it's Lent .. ROFL!

Did you forget to add 'ugly?' ;)

Yes ma'am. It won't happen again.

That's what I first thought then looked it up.

Joey Wilson was AmbASSador to Gabon.

Do you think she was foolish enough to keep notes?

[STARWISE]

If you've not seen it today, Bill Gertz is on C-span2 replay right now .. talking about national security issues. Wonder if McCarthy was one of his sources?

[gov_bean_ counter]

This woman has an agenda that goes far beyond embarrassing President Bush. I want to know who she is working with and who she is working for.

[demkicker]

My heart is pounding. This is going places.

I hope you're right, but I've spent my FR life thinking the same thing about the Clintons every time it looked like they would finally face justice. This woman is probably just a peon in the crooked democrat scheme of things and will hopefully be made to SQUEAL AND PAY!

[SE Mom]

Good for you!

My Screamin' Eagle son is driving home from Ft Campbell (medically retired today) to Florida...so I've called him a couple of times to update him on this thread. First time- he said "HOLY ####, Ma"!..Second time he said "This is AWESOME"...just now- he said "I gotta pull over and take this all in..."

[freema]

I hope no one calls me to cook for him.
