If they'd have told her to jump off a cliff.....
With friends like that, who needs Bush, eh?
MSM=Brain dead arm of the left wing Mob.
Your research and sharing skills are terrific.
Some thoughts on Larry Johnson's article.
1)Why does he start and finish with slams on Mary McCarthy's managerial abilities?
2)Why does he detail this info about her return to a job at Langley from CSIS (in DC)?
Is he trying to create degrees of separation between her and his pals at VIPS, CIP, WAPO, etc?
Had she been getting lateral transfers for many years because she really was not an asset to any office?
Does this indicate a level of intellect that is dumb enough to fall for a sting re secret prisons?
Lots of food for thought from her not-friend Larry Johnson.
In a way Traitor Mary and her whole little CIA commie cabal have performed a community service. By doing what they do and getting caught at it, they have lifted the lid on commie traitor hell just a little.
Hopefully enough people will see it for themselves and have an epiphany. It's sort of like those abstract pattern pictures that were everywhere some 10-20 years ago that if you stared at them long enough, a picture would pop right into focus out of the bland pattern.
You think that's bad? try THIS post from another KOS loon about the non-existent, unprovable "Secret" Prisons...
This absolutely should go back in the headlines, because this is confirmation. At the very least this should be prominent in some of the current book tours.
And this proves that we were lied to, and that someone who told the truth got punished.
Are they being punished for leaking, or are they beiung punished for contradicting a string of official lies covering illegal activity?
McCarthy's rapid advancement speaks volumes about how the Clinton Administration did business, and sheds new light on the intelligence failures that set the stage for 9-11. We can only wonder how many other political hacks climbed the intel food chain under Clinton--and remain in place to this day.

Even without leapfrogging more senior persons, I'm sure that way too many Clintonistas rose to positions higher than their capabilities, simply because many career persons retired 'early' during the Clinton years as a matter of principle or disgust.
I'll be around for a litte and hopefully some tonight when I hit Savannah.MNJ's turn today.
Swift Yacht Veterans Unveil Campaign Commercial:
Claim John Kerry was a “Jolly Good Fellow” and a “Dapper Gentleman Indeed”
8/23/2004
In a stinging retort to criticisms levied by the Swift Boat Veterans, who claim that John Kerry’s heroic Vietnam record is fabricated, the Massachusetts-based Swift Yacht Veterans will unveil a commercial in which they maintain that Kerry is a “jolly good fellow” and a “dapper gentleman indeed.”
The ad features three white-haired men dressed in sailor hats, cravats, and blue, anchor-lapelled blazers; all of the men are sipping cognac, and two of them smoke pipes. They all claim to be Swift Yacht Veterans who knew Kerry during his “uproarious” days at the yacht club.
Highlights from the ad include:
“I had the pleasure of making Master Kerry’s acquaintance on many a jovial occasion,” claims Beauregard Kendalson, “and I say with full confidence that Kerry cares about the little people, even Negroes.”
“In the summer of ’72 John and I took the yacht to Lisbon,” says Jacob Allen Reimschneider in between sips of cognac, “we were alone … at sea … for three months … and there was … surprisingly little … homosexual activity. That bespeaks … determination and leadership to me.”
Another Swift Yacht Veteran, William Holmes III, claims, in what appears to be an affected British accent, that John Kerry was “there for him” during a troubled time in his life. “John kept me from killing myself—not literally, of course,” says Mr. Holmes III, guffawing at his own ‘joke’, “my Rolls was in the shop, Lovie had slipped into one of her moods, I had lost a few million in the market, and they were repainting my summer home—I had nowhere to go to wind down. John was like, ‘that’s it, were going to the Riviera.’ I tried to argue, but he was like, ‘no ifs or buts, we’re going William.’ And we went for three weeks. I don’t know what would have happened if John hadn’t been so courageous. I owe him my life.” I wonder if this Holmes guy is related to John and Deep Throat.

I think Vile Larry Johnson is just trying to create some seoaration between her and the OTHER CABALISTS!!
"She [Mary] could find out about secret prisons if Intelligence Officers involved with that program had filed a complaint with the IG or if there was some incident that compelled senior CIA officials to determine an investigation was warranted. In other words, this program did not come to Mary's attention (if the allegations are true) because she worked on it as an ops officer. Instead, it appears an investigation of the practice had been proposed or was underway".
IOW it was allegedly* already being looked into and didn't NEED to be leaked for corrective action to be taken on it if such action was necessary. Exactly like Abu Ghraib.
And yet in both cases a great public hullaballoo was set up with a result of damage to the USA. A result I believe was the sole intent and that there was NO intent to correct a wrong.
*I say allegedly because, as many freepers have pointed out, there's a pretty good chance that this was a sting and that the "problem" never existed in the first place.
It's interesting that Lyin' Larry would expose Leakin' Mary like this, although he did say he didn't like her and had to leave because of her. Apparently poor Larry can't even get along at work when he's working for another America trashing Fellow Traveler.
It's sort of like those abstract pattern pictures that were everywhere some 10-20 years ago that if you stared at them long enough, a picture would pop right into focus out of the bland pattern.

A brilliant analogy. That is Exactly what is happening. I was a great fan of those images, and of almost all kinds of puzzles. Puzzles involving national security are the most important. Hurrah for Free Republic and its contributors.
We don't know how long or how often she's been doing things similar to this. It's possible she's done things like this for a long time and always got away with it before.
Thanks for the links So many interesting names, in an organization that got organized after 9/11 to advise on Homeland Security! Will have to read as my b/p and digestive system will tolerate more tension.
I'm beginning to think she went back precisely to start leaking. That's the only thing that makes the whole Valerie Plame mountain-out-of-the-great-plains make sense.
The only thing you can count on with these anti-American Marxists is their psychological prediliction for projection.

How long did you hug him?
I'll tell them again-if the Left would only fully embrace Kerry's and Murtha's pull out policy (as concerns sex).........abortion can become a moot issue for them and they can concentrate on bigger and harder issues.
On this specifically I don't know, but remember just before the '04 election Soros publically said that it was "a matter of life and death" that Bush be defeated. After the election there were many references to the coming retribution...
I'm thinking Soros knows all the things he himself has done and is doing and apparently he believes if investigations are done, he's in deep sewage. But death? As in death penalty? I wonder what we don't know about. Yet.

CIA woman in ‘secret prisons’ leak sacked
Sarah Baxter
THE CIA has sacked a senior officer who leaked information about secret prisons in eastern Europe for terrorist suspects. The officer, Mary McCarthy, had failed a polygraph test and confessed to contacts with a reporter.
A veteran CIA analyst nearing retirement, McCarthy worked in the office of the inspector-general, investigating allegations that the agency was involved in torture at Iraqi prisons.
Although the CIA did not identify her by name, she is said to have supplied information on the covert detention programme to Dana Priest, a Washington Post journalist who won a Pulitzer prize for the story last week.
The revelation that the CIA had been involved in shipping prisoners on unmarked planes to secret prisons in up to eight countries, thought to include Poland and Romania, provoked a storm of international protest last autumn.
The European Union’s anti-terror coordinator, Gijs De Vries, announced last week that there was no proof any illegal CIA treatment of prisoners had occurred.
McCarthy’s unmasking has turned up the political heat after it was revealed that she had donated the maximum $2,000 to the 2004 presidential election campaign of John Kerry, the Democratic candidate. She was appointed to a senior intelligence post at the White House in 1998 by Sandy Berger, President Bill Clinton’s national security adviser.
Supporters of the war in Iraq have frequently accused the CIA of being riddled with Clinton supporters bent on leaking information damaging to American national security. The Pulitzers were dubbed “the treason prizes” by right-wing critics last week after an award went to reporters who disclosed that the National Security Agency was secretly wiretapping the overseas conversations of US citizens without a warrant.
Democrats countered that President George W Bush should hold accountable members of his team who leaked selective and often faulty intelligence in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq.
They also “outed” the CIA operative Valerie Plame, whose husband refuted allegations that Saddam Hussein was trying to buy uranium from Niger. “Apparently, President Bush doesn’t believe what’s good for the CIA is good for the White House,” said Robert Menendez, a Democratic senator.
Intelligence officials claimed McCarthy’s sacking was the result of a “pattern of conduct” and said she may have been a source for other stories. She is thought to have been one of a handful of officers to know about “compartmented” programmes such as the secret detention sites.
Now she has been sacked, she could risk prosecution if she goes public with what she knows, having “violated the secrecy agreement that everyone signs as a condition of employment with the CIA”, said a CIA spokesman.
Porter Goss, the director of the CIA, told Congress in February that he was determined to track down leakers in his agency. “The damage has been very severe to our capabilities to carry out our mission,” he said.
In a further sign of friction between the CIA and the White House over the war on terror, Tyler Drumheller, a retired intelligence officer, will claim on the 60 Minutes television programme tonight that Bush was reliably warned Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction before he invaded.
An Al-Qaeda explosives expert and paymaster was killed in a gunfight by Pakistani forces near the Afghan border, a senior Pakistani intelligence official claimed yesterday.
A diary found on Marwan Hadid al-Suri suggests that he may have been distributing cash to the families of Al-Qaeda members, including Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the organisation’s leader in Iraq.
