seized her badge and put her in a frigid conference room. "I'm shaking. I'm cold, staring at the wall," she recalled. "And worse, people are using the room as a shortcut, so I have no dignity in this crisis."

She was tortured. Lawsuit at eleven.

She is lucky Jack Baurer didn't knee cap her.

She is obviously nuts. CIA cafeteria food is one of the best offerings in the federal government.

Interesting that Dana Priest wrote the story. Is it a reporter trying to generate sympathy for one of her sources?

Having seen the classified blog area that has been set up...which has been in operation for a number months...I've asked myself how they ever expected to keep control over comments. It was intended to be a place where ideas could be shared and radical suggestions made...but you see an area with an awful lot of temptation to comment on how you got into such and such mess in the first place. Intelligence analysts sit around and analyze the heck out of things...with conclusions that often disagree with government policies.

My guess is that BAE will have a letter for each employee to sign now...threatening termination if they blog on any government computer or network. And the contractor in question? She will end up probably as a GS-13 in less than a month...and probably back at the same section. Thats the way things go in the US government.

Why is she working when she is married to someone as successful as Drew Carey?

I don't understand the significance of Dana Priest writing the store - please enlighten me. I infer from your post that she is involved with CIA leaks, but I confess, I don't keep up with the names of reporters as I probably should.

I would say you are being overly cynical if I didn't think you have a pretty good chance of being right.

She exposed the CIA secret terrorist prisons for a start. I'll let others here educate you to the extent of her infamy.

Dana is one of the reporters that revealed top secret information in a newspaper article.
