included a highly unusual polygraph examination for the agency's independent watchdog, C.I.A. Inspector General John L. Helgerson
Sounds like there was a "unit sweep" via polygraph of that whole office.
Or maybe Mary canary is singing, and they are reeling others in.

Also a means to clear him of any complicity in the actions of his subordinate. Wouldn't make too much of it.

Translation:

and we can expect more subponeas in the
coming months. Our top Putzes will be in
the slammer for refusing to talk, rather
than on vacation in what's left of Paris."

Sad that tighter secrecy at the CIA is not a foregone conclusion. I would have thought taht was their job description.
But then you have vamps like Valerie Plame appearing on magazine covers in her jammies.

Mary is undoubtedly singing, but someone else got this going.
Here's part of the trick ~ any competent intelligence analyst would have already noticed that ALL of the IG directors, or top level people in every agency IG who were Clintonistas (appointed by Clinton, or schedule Cs) have turned out to be rotten to the core.
One of the first was Carla Corcoran who had been USPS IG. She'd earlier been in the Air Force IG's office, but wormed her way into a non-political job at USPS.
There have been others ~ one of them quite recently ~ remember the news flak caught cruising 13 year old girls (he thought). He was from Time, Inc., a temple of leftwingnut focus.
I'm sure there are others.

LOL. It could be something simple like that. :)
Hope that's all it is. As bad as it is having somebody in the "Internal Affairs" division turning rogue, it'd be even worse if the boss was a also a bad apple.

Well boo hoo. Someone ask me if I really give a damn about the ex-CIA employees and their book deals.

About time.
CIA turned synonymous with a free for all. An anonymous subversion of this Government by self appointed heroes.
Misunderstood heroic opposition by purposely and directly undermining the administration regardless of consequential damage to the country.
Too much idle time, too much liberalism, too much of a unified clique at the CIA.
Plame, a CIA desk jockey is another one hiding behind a facade erected by husband Wilson, the former Ambassador to Gabon, as a secret agent.

I thought Plame was outed by The White House? Didn't Karl Rove admit to releasing her name?
To: Pikamax
Tighter secrecy at the CIA in this day and age?
The NY Times must have a source.

Thanks for the welcome. But I do recall a federal investigation of White House personnel and an indictment of Libby resulting from the leak. Do I have my facts wrong?
To: PubliusToo
Libby was not indicted for leaking.

Nobody is being charged with any crime related to leaking. Libby is being charged for lying or bending about what he said to some reporters.
We don't know who leaked to Novak. The prosecution won't talk, won't release the info to Libby. After the leak Novak confirmed the info with two others, Rove and some CIA press handler. According to Novak on or both of them asked him not to reveal the information. But Novak did anyway.

You may need to read that memo again. Libby was "indicted" for being less than truthful to a grand jury, not for leaking a name.
No one has been indicted for "leaking" the name of a CIA clerk who was btw not a secret agent.
Stick around and you'll get a better education than you're accustomed to over at Dummies Unhinged.
Trust me.

I understand that Libby was indicted for perjury. But the perjury was alleged to have occurred when the federal prosecutor questioned Libby about his role in leaking Plame's name to the press. What exactly am I missing here?
To: Pikamax
The "single-issue" polygraphs, which are distinct from the routine polygraphs given to agency employees at least every five years, have been conducted by the C.I.A. Security Center but with close supervision from Mr. Goss's office, according to one official. Like other current and former intelligence officials, he was granted anonymity to discuss classified events at the agency without fear of retribution.So who is this ONE OFFICIAL that is leaking the details of this undoubtedly secret investigation???
"Granted anonymity" by who? The NY Slimes? That is supposed to make it okay for this person to leak information as to a confidential investigation? The arrogance of the liberal media is breathtaking.
Investigating leaks by intelligence officials would make a full time job for THREE FBIs.
