WASHINGTON, April 25 — The Central Intelligence Agency on Tuesday defended the firing of Mary O. McCarthy, the veteran officer who was dismissed last week, and challenged her lawyer's statements that Ms. McCarthy never provided classified information to the news media.
But intelligence officials would not say whether they believed that Ms. McCarthy had been a source for a Pulitzer Prize-winning series of articles in The Washington Post about secret C.I.A. detention centers abroad. Media accounts have linked Ms. McCarthy's firing to the articles, but the C.I.A. has never explicitly drawn such a connection

A C.I.A. spokeswoman, Jennifer Millerwise Dyck, said: "The officer was terminated for precisely the reasons we have given: unauthorized contacts with reporters and sharing classified information with reporters. There is no question whatsoever that the officer did both. The officer personally admitted doing both."

Sorry. The criminal investigation into the 1998 US Embassy bombings in Africa ended with three hundred counts against the defendants including the utilization of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) against American targets, conspiracy to kill officers and employees of the U.S. government, conspiracy to murder U.S. nationals, and conspiracy to destroy U.S. buildings by the use of explosives.
Thanks.

Sounds like something from the LBJ school of politics!

You were asking for a list of Clinton's NSC members. This is the most complete list I have found.

Every day we read about corruption in politics and the people keep voting them in.
Now call someone a traitor and show proof and they will never be reelected. Problem is the Republicans are milquetoast and won't do it.
THANKS!!
George Tenet was on Clinton's NSC staff?? VERY bad choice of Bush's....Slam Dunk Tenet.
Sounds like the basis for a revocation of pension to me. The failed lie-detector test isn't necessary to this case. Once again this Administration lets the enemies of the Left off without any real consquences...a pattern of grotesque weakness....which will only encourage still more loose lips.
Such considerations did not stop the prosecution of Aldrich Ames, Jonathan Pollard or Robert Hansen when they were caught spying. These trials are not necessarily public.
