Flight Pundit

Hey what the hell is this shit? I though Bush did it. No wait, it was Cheney. Noooo…it was Saddam.

Ok it was a lowly little official.

The person who leaked info from the CIA to the media- about super secret prisons in Europe and other classified information -has been fired. Good. I wonder if this same “official” has leaked info to foreign governments, enemies of America? And yes, a little DIG here: I am taking bets on the political party this person belongs too. (Hint: It’s an ASS)

WASHINGTON — A CIA officer has been relieved of his duty after being caught leaking classified information to the media.

Citing the Privacy Act, the CIA would not provide any details about the officer’s identity or assignments. It was not immediately clear if the person would face prosecution. The firing is a highly unusual move, although there has been an ongoing investigation into leaks in the CIA.

“The officer has acknowledged unauthorized discussions with the media and the unauthorized sharing of classified information,” said CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano. “That is a violation of the secrecy agreement that everyone signs as a condition of employment with 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.”

UPDATE: Fox news just reported the name of the official: Mary McCarthy- she testified at the 9-11 Commission hearings.

HEH and I was right- she is a Democrap. Good thing no one took me up on my bet.
