This is huge. Drastic reform is need at the CIA — immediately. This is f’in outrageous...it’s treason.
Anyone who participated in this should hang or face a firing squad.
Unfortunately, they will probably make the rounds on the network news shows, giving TV interviews. Next comes the book deal.
In a country that believed in something, these people would be facing capital charges.
And yet another example - this one clearly stated and apparently cited - of the ongoing war between the CIA and the duly elected U.S. government.
This is outrageous (though I am not surprised at all).
Where are the Sedition laws in this country.
I’m so sick of Bush and his pathetic leadership.
If outing a desk clerk at the C.I.A. gets you 3 years then outing a covert operation in war time should get you at least 25 years in Leavenworth!
Hard labor! :(
These people need to be sought and informed permanently of their vow to the United States and to keep secrets no matter how much they disagreed with those secrets.
Is it any wonder why the MI5 considers the CIA to be useless?
ANY operative, ANY person sworn to secrecy needs held to the fire and fined, jailed or terminated based on the extent at which they have betrayed our country. It is NOT up to them to blab to the media. If something is going on, they can blab to watchdog groups but if it ends up on the Times, they need some time.
These leaks were all partisan. They were intended to smear Bush. While my regard of him is at an extreme low due to Jorge’s amnesty, position, the Potus should NOT have to deal with leaks on this level by AMERICANS! There are channels to solve these issues..those were bypassed to make political hay.
These actions, by the CIA employees, can be characterized in various ways: insubordination, espionage, treason, mutiny, anarchy, bad hair day.

These two in particular had Top Secret clearance. Another guy cleared to the gills (NSA, CIA, CPB, DOD) was a huge apologist for every enemy of the US you might bring up. I overheard him discuss how Condi Rice's own family didn't like her and on and on. Another individual joked about how we should nuke Utah and Texas and how sympathetic he was to the plight of the illegal alien. He was working for Customs Border Protection and one would have thought he'd have been more concerned about the plight of keeping illegal aliens out of the US.
The most strange thing that happened was having Phil Landfried call everyone at the building up to the top of the Kingstowne building to chastise the well educated well paid (several million dollars in salaries were there that day) in their hygiene habits. It turns out one of the well cleared individuals was getting crap all over the place in the restroom and not flushing and many people were leaving trash and sanitary napkins in inappropriate places. It turns out with all the cameras and even after installing security swipe locks on the bathrooms they had failed to catch the offending individual in a period of over two years.
I marveled that if they couldn't catch the secret sh***r it is no wonder they couldn't catch illegal aliens. I did know many good people. My boss was a conservative and a good guy and the border guys from the field were good too but they were outnumbered. The group think in Washington is horrible. They need loyalty tests more than credit checks in DC.
Here is a picture posted in the restroom. lol 
This is unreal. If this is true, the CIA employees who did this should be found at all costs, sparing no expense or effort. These traitors should be tried and suffer the punishment due to treason. They are no better than the Rosenbergs. If we “tolerate” traitors like this, we are through as a nation. This is an outrage.
I was watching Fox n Friends this morning - with one eye open - and they had a well-known guy on who has written a book about the clandestine group with the CIA that is leaking all the classified stuff; whose whole goal is to make Bush look bad.
The name of the book is, “Sabotage”. I had not heard a peep about this book before, so I’m hoping he shows up on O’Reilly, Hannity and a few other places. Looks like I have another book to add to my collection of “must reads”.

Who is Mary McCarthy? [The Great One, Mark Levin, weighs in...]

Who is Mary McCarthy?
Well, as of this morning (Saturday) most of the big media don’t care. They’re fixated with the weather and gas prices and anything else that will divert the public’s attention from the stunning revelation that a Sandy Berger crony has apparently been leaking top-secret information from her high post at the CIA. The media will continue to downplay this story as they cover-up their own role in exposing our nation’s secrets, including the supposed existence of CIA prisons in Europe. She’ll be called a “whistleblower” and praised as some kind of patriot (a patriot, in the eyes of the media, is anybody who undermines this administration and the war effort by leaking national security secrets to them). They will downplay that McCarthy was a Clintonoid who somehow managed to land a top post at the CIA, ultimately winding up in the CIA’s Inspector General’s Office, from where she could monitor CIA internal investigations of, well, leaks, among other things.
The news spin, to the extent attention is being paid to this by the big media outlets, is that McCarthy’s firing is unprecedented! Or it’s Bush’s fault! In one of the most absurd comments by any newsman anywhere, Newsbusters.org notes that Bob Schieffer of CBS Evening News asserted that “it is no secret that the current administration does not like its people hanging out with news reporters without permission” and he described the firing as “a first a dubious first, to be sure.” Here. Is this guy for real?
If she leaked she must be charged. I wonder what Schieffer would say then? I suppose he would urge that she receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. After all, the Washington Post’s Dana Priest, who apparently served as McCarthy’s stenographer, was just awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
I must say, however, that the media’s sickening hypocrisy knows no bounds. They came to the defense of Joe Wilson and his wife, Valerie Plame, who worked behind-the-scenes to get her husband that “fact-finding” trip to Niger. They demanded an investigation into who “leaked” Plame’s identity to Bob Novak which ensnared their own reporters. They hoped they would critically wound the president, and they failed. Clearly Plame was not undercover and the revelation of her identity was not a crime. Lewis Libby now stands accused of lying about a crime that never occurred and the media think that’s a good thing.
Now comes Mary McCarthy, who apparently leaked real classified national-security secrets and the media largely dismiss it or defend it. They have no curiosity about McCarthy, the extent of her leaks, to whom she leaked (beyond Priest, did she leak to other reporters, members of Congress, other governments?), how she secured top security posts, and her ties to the Clinton administration. Surely there is every reason the government should pursue this investigation at least as vigorously as the Plame matter has been pursued. Dana Priest, among others, should have her day before a grand jury.
And watch the congressional Democrats follow the media’s lead. Long ago they put party and power above victory in this war. McCarthy’s ties to Clinton threaten to take attention from their unrelenting attack on the Bush administration and their claims of incompetence in the management of the war, which they see as their ticket to majority status in 2006.
Putting that aside, the discovery of McCarthy does make you wonder how many more of her ilk have squirreled themselves into the bureaucracy, from where they seek to undermine the country. ~
A ex-CIA guy demostrated just how ignorant the thinking at the CIA is last night on Glenn Beck’s CNN show. I posted a transcript here...

These guys think the Jihad is something like a Marxist movement instead of a religious movement. Unbelievable.
