How fast will the Democrats canonize this person and their media allies put him on the payroll as a consultant?

Classifications of material and the consequences of compromise:

Unclassified - No damage to the National Security
FOUO - Potential damage to the National Security
Confidential - Identifiable damage to the National Security
Secret - Significant damage to the National Security
Top Secret - Grave damage to the National Security

And what else did this guy leak? The CIA has been like a sieve ever since Bush was elected.

[untrained skeptic]

You are exactly right.

This isn't just violating a secrecy agreement. This is treason.

However, I don't think we've charged anyone with treason in this country in decades unless there's evidence that national security secrets were sold to a foreign power.

The democrats were so successful in demonizing those who opposed those who tried to expose treasonous acts by those aiding the Soviet Union against us during McCarthy's days, that our government is afraid to charge someone with treason unless if can be clearly proven that the committed treason for financial profit.

the CIA has fired a senior career official over the leak of the so-called "secret prisons"

Hopefully this is only the start of a purge of the shadowy enemy within.

[Getready]

so who is this "leaker"???

[fat city]

Mary McCarthy

[Vigilanteman]

. . . and Berkely will offer the scumbag a full professorship. Which is why I'd favor either (a)a good old-fashioned hanging or (b)a tatoo of Mohammed and airdropping the perp naked into the Sunni Triangle.

[surrey]

Does she have a blue dress in her closet?

[marron]

Good, thats a start. They need to charge him with something, he needs to do a little time, and he needs a felony rap on his record, just to mess up the rest of his life.

Now, who leaked the CIA flights?

[fat city]

"Does she have a blue dress in her closet?"

If it was Mary McCarthy, as reported, it's a huge story- or would be with an honest media. I think she's way up the ladder in the CIA. As is, she'll be labeled a "whistleblower" and accorded all kinds of kudos.

[Cicero]

There have been a lot of leaks. This is a very gratifying news story, because it suggests that the Justice Department is FINALLY doing its job. One down and twenty or thirty to go.

[kellynla]

Fox News is reporting that the CIA agent who was fired name is Mary McCarthy.

[GOP_1900AD]

Need to make an immediate correction, due to the anti American, Communist bias of the Slimes:

"The CIA has fired an employee for leaking classified information to the news media, including LIES about NONEXISTENT BUT IMAGINED secret CIA prisons in Eastern Europe, officials said today."

[Southack]

Mary McCarthy is a die-hard Clintonista operative. She's also the NSC Senior Director of Intel.

"(3) The report of the 9/11 Commission notes that the National Security staff reviewed the intelligence in April 2000 and concluded that the CIA's assessment of its intelligence on bin Laden and al-Shifa had been valid; the memo to Clinton on this was cosigned by Richard Clarke and Mary McCarthy, the NSC senior director for intelligence programs, who opposed the bombing of al-Shifa in 1998. The report also notes that in their testimony before the commission, Al Gore, Sandy Berger, George Tenet, and Richard Clarke all stood by the decision to bomb al-Shifa."

We're over HERE.

Our thread is filled with great information.

[MHGinTN]

Lobotomize this traitor and let the perp rake leaves on the White House grounds for the rest of life.

[Enterprise]

Oh there you go, starting McCarthyism agaim.

[Southack]

The more troubling donation that she made was for $5,000 to the Democratic Party of Ohio...the state that came the closest to sneaking Senator Kerry into the White House.

She **clearly** followed partisan politics so closely that she was trying to influence that state.

Disturbing. Plame. McCarthy. The women of the CIA appear to have quite the penchant for playing partisan politics.
