On Friday, the CIA busted one of its own and charged him — or her — with leaking classified information.
While this guy or gal goes to jail, over at The Washington Post, reporter Dana Priest is still admiring the brand new Pulitzer Prize sitting on her mantle, for writing about what this very leaker told her: the secret prison story.
It was last November when Priest published a story in The Washington Post that the U.S. was maintaining a secret array of prisons where American intelligence could interrogate Al Qaeda-types who had been captured on the field of battle or picked up off the streets, wherever we could find them.
Coincidentally, on Friday, the European Union's anti-terrorism chief told a hearing that he had not been able to prove that secret CIA prisons really existed.
Whether they existed or not, the CIA spook evidently told Dana Priest something about secret prisons that qualified as leaking classified information. So it's off to Stony Lonesome.
All reporters would love to win a Pulitzer. Few know how it feels. Fewer still know how it feels to win one of the top prizes in the profession, while somebody goes off the prison so you could win your prize.
What is really going on here is the secret war by CIA-types against President Bush and his policies. This is the group inside the CIA — think Valerie Plame — who think their opinions and analysis of the world should trump whatever it is the president thinks. If the president goes against their opinion, they call The New York Times and start leaking embarrassing stuff.
It's a war against Bush, waged by Americans.
It's wrong, it's illegal and people are going to start going to jail. That's good.

I heard on the radio the leaker's name is Mary McCarthy
Calling a spade a spade. Also good.
Too bad Mr. and Mrs. Wilson aren't going to jail, they deserve it.
Boy does that feel wonderful!!!
Secret? Seems to me it becomes more blatant all the time, at least to anyone with a modicum of objectivity.
Shoot the traitorous bastids and their journalist enablers
a few people need to charged to an example for the rest
I wonder if any reporters are going to jail.What they did was treason.I sure hope so.They have American Patriots blood on thei hands.Hopefully,Ms.Mary starts spilling the beans for a plea deal.It sure would open some eyes.

McCarthy donated the maximum $2000 to the Kerry campaign in '04; not a surprise.
Any relation to Charlie?
Simply amazing how the Cintonoids are able to still control everything in the DeMARXocrat party and how they are able to actually use 'The Goverment for the People by the People' to destroy the country while attempting to destroy a Republican president.
While finding out someone in our own CIA hates America was not a shock, I am wondering how much deeper this goes. I would bet that there are more agents involved and also others outside of the CIA who are connected.
And I hope this agent is executed for treason.
Time for certain leaky Senators to go too.
And yes, she is the "namesake" daughter of an infamous closet communist writer of the 60's and 70's.
We need our own civil war against these people
Thanks for posting this. We have a thread up now on FR addressing the B$tch CIA traitor who was fired:

CIA officer fired after admitting leak, (Mary McCarthy named in this article)
Msnnbc.msn.com ^ | April 21, 2006 | Robert Windrem and Andrea Mitchell

The officer flunked a polygraph exam before being fired on Thursday and is now under investigation by the Justice Department, NBC has learned.
Intelligence sources tell NBC News the accused officer, Mary McCarthy, worked in the CIA's inspector general's office and had worked for the National Security Council under the Clinton and and George W. Bush administrations.
The leak pertained to stories on the CIA’s rumored secret prisons in Eastern Europe, sources told NBC. The information was allegedly provided to Dana Priest of the Washington Post, who wrote about CIA prisons in November and was awarded a Pulitzer Prize on Monday for her reporting.
Sources said the CIA believes McCarthy had more than a dozen unauthorized contacts with Priest. Information about subjects other than the prisons may have been leaked as well.

John should have titled this "The NOT So Secret War Against Bush." Nonsense has been ongoing since inauguration, 2001. Some have never recovered from the Election of 2000.
The dems have crawled out on the thin limb of treason.
In the Plame Game, it was reported that the Wilsons had reporters over to the house before the Novak article hit. It's part of the same conspiracy IMO.

Ali Veritas has posted some very interesting stuff about this B$tch and Wilson/Plame. Go to the link below.

Bump for later.
Methinks a federal prosecutor should add a charge of "conspiracy to commit treason" to both the leaker, and of course the leakee (including the editors that approved publication).
Might make some of the elitest traitors rethink their activities. Probably good for an extra 10-15 years added onto their sentences (hopefully consecutively).
Not yet.
It takes time to build a capital case for Treason.
They should have tried Johnny Taliban infront of Congress for Treason. That would have sent a message to the rats.
You may be right,but I doubt very much will come of it.The traitor at the CIA,more than likely has quite a few friends in the department who think just like her.A purge is what is needed.For some reason,to me,purge,is another word for vomit.An ordinary person off the street would be put in the slammer for even thinking certain thoughts out loud,that our elected officials not only think about,but have the audacity to act on them.For some reason,I can not visualize that happening unless someone spills the beans.After all,it may mean some bad press!Like there isnt any of that going on!
John Gibson gets it. Which is why the DU considers him the enemy of humankind.
I'm curious to know if the person that leaked to the media called the media and informed them that he/she was being fired for leaking to the media.
--oh, no , I guess it isn't--
Thank you for posting that.
"I'm curious to know if the person that leaked to the media called the media and informed them that he/she was being fired for leaking to the media."
I'm sure several people got a heads-up.
Bill "O" has such an ego he can not learn anymore.
The MSM is pretending dangerous leaking is coming from the WH.
However, this is just a cover for the the fact that the real dangerous leaking is that done by CIA and other elements. And has been for years. Bush & Goss are cleaning up the system.
Excuse me .. John was not "a little out there on his war on Christmas".
Obviously, you're not a Christian who has been watching the constant nick picking of the "church and state" arguments. Since there is NO CONSTITUTIONAL law forbidding Christian influence in the govt - most of this stuff was made up by the ACLU - using the "church and state" MYTH!!
Get informed!!
My pleasure.
Only a minor skirmish day .. but I wanted you to react .. that's why I said what I did. It might have seemed over the top because it was so much all at once - and when you put all the attacks against Christianity together in one book - THAT'S WHAT YOU GET - IT IS OVER THE TOP! John wasn't over reacting - he was just reporting what information was out there WHICH THE DRIVE-BY MEDIA WOULDN'T REPORT - because it doesn't fit their agenda and they basically agree with the ACLU.
I don't find it offensive for any of these "conservative" or "Christian" people to HAWK THEIR OWN BOOKS ON THEIR OWN PROGRAMS. I know I would!
Good old Typhoid Mary needs to to be prosecuted, cut her a deal, then let her sing like a bird about her brothers in arms in the CIA. How sweet to see Wilson and Wife go down in Flames.
Treason at CIA is nickel-dime compared to the State Department.
Exactly-no SECRET whatsoever. In fact, I've known about this sort of thing for years. That's what Porter Goss is doing at CIA, and that's what Condi's doing at State-cleaning out the traitorous, commie-loving vermin appointed by the likes of Clinton and Carter. Damn good thing Bush got a second term...
