‘Whoops!’ Did White House inadvertently publicly identify CIA station chief in Kabul?

President Obama made a surprise appearance in Afghanistan on Sunday.

There is now buzz that the White House revealed the name of the CIA station chief in Kabul to a pool of reporters:

Plame wasn’t an operative at the time, wasn’t even in the field. She was riding a desk in DC and they told everyone in their neighborhood who she worked for. Revealing she worked for the CIA was no more revealing a secret than saying Obama is corrupt and incompetent.

From a related thread:

the press office raised no objection, apparently because military officials had provided the list to distribute to news organizations.

So, the press office is already blaming the military officials.

[Would the military be providing names of CIA personnel?]

[ROCKLOBSTER]

is he working for the other side?

Yes.

Next question.

[TigersEye]

It is glaringly obvious now to those with eyes to see it.
The jihadis know it. The Egyptians know it and they are none too happy about it.

[Chickensoup]

accidentally on purpose uh huh, is he working for the other side?

This has happened a number of times. He is definitely working for the other side.

Ultimately, no one abides a traitor.

.....and Lewis Scooter Libby is in jail, why?

Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald carried on a many months' investigation after learning it was Richard Armitage who "inadvertently" allowed Plame's name released (of course, Plame was no secret agent and her hubby, Joe Wilson spoke of his wife's role at the Agency) but not to worry, I'm certain the Agency doesn't mind giving up one of its own to the enemy.

Null and void, many thanks for the post!

You saw what was gonna happen... five years ago.

Batten down the hatches..... rough seas ahead ....

Or was it on purpose? I do not believe a single word from this administration about anything.

[jeffc]

Yup, but the media played it up as a big damaging exposure. This is bigger, but watch the media go all silent as they protect their selected boy-king - can’t let him look bad, y’know!

*sigh*

How long was the President in the ground in Afghanistan before his crack team f’d something up? Amazing.

[TheOldLady]

"How long was the President in the ground in Afghanistan..."

Don't we all wish...

[hometoroost]

Yup, just another “phony scandal.”

[FlyingEagle]

No accident. Intentional, and Karzai did not meet him. What is going on?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Been in office 6 years. He knows better

[Karliner]

Please just leave me on the list.
Aside: this would be extreme SNL comedy satire if not for REAL people that could be killed like ST-6 25 men on a Helo...Benghazi, F&F, so many others...I blame it on white Hollywood conservatives( are there any?)

Thought you were already on.?
