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."

Well at least we now know who Hillary's running mate is in 08.

Now that's so scary, it's very possible. He will probably be a national (MSM) hero.

I agree with you...I hope Rockefeller is tangled in this, too. Funny thing about leakin'....It never stops unless someone plugs it. This will be about more than one leak.

"The spokesman also would not say whether the agency was looking into any criminal action against the officer."

That's EX-officer now.

I expect we'll get to see him publicly named and prosecuted, just like Scooter Libby?

I expect he/she will get rich from a book deal and making the rounds on all the MSM talk shows.

If it was the "secret prison" story, and it was found to be false, then maybe it was a sting operation by the CIA?

That would be funny if that traitor Dana Priest got a liberal award for a lie!

LOL

How twisted the nation has become. The mere thought of a CIA agent leaking secret information should be on the never happens list. Instead, it is happening all the time.

It might be more fitting if the former agent was sent to one of the secret prisons.

That would be icing on the cake! The question is then, would the prize be returned or pulled, or whatever they do with prizes that are awarded/given based on falsities???

"Firing is nice.. but what about being arrested?"

That'll be next.

Then, when found guilty, off to Leavenworth. Not a happy place to go, and rightly so.

It's about time someone in a government agency was held accountable--just ONE is NOT enough...
