The White House made a big mistake over the weekend, accidentally revealing the name of the CIAs top officer in Kabul in a prepared list of U.S. officials who were taking part in a briefing related to President Barack Obamas surprise visit to Afghanistan.
After the White House caught the error, which named the individual as the Chief of Station a label given to the CIAs top spy in any given country the agent was removed from the email and a revised list was distributed, the Washington Post reported.
But before making the change, the officials identity was sent to more than 6,000 recipients, including reporters for TheBlaze. The Obama administration has asked media outlets to withhold the name to help ensure the agents safety as well as the well-being of his family.

Oh yeah! You can trust 6,000 journalists with your and your family's life.
In the Liberal world 6000 journalists can keep a secret. . . If you just ask them to. . . Right, sure,
Just saying... I avoid The Blaze site too many pop up adds and I find it too frustrating.
Too bad ‘cause they have good material.
Where is the Valerie Plame outrage?
Why not? The MSM have been keeping silent about all of Obummer’s screwups up till now.
What did they do to Scooter Libby for supposedly “outing” Valerie Plame, an “undercover” CIA operative who was actually working “undercover” for five years at her desk at Langley, who thought nothing of telling her neighbors, the members of the local PTA, and her women’s club about her exploits as a spy. Yet Scooter Libby,c’mon strained by his oath of office, could not answer questions that were posed to him, did answer truthfully when he said “I did not reveal Valerie Plame was a CIA operative.” But they threw him in prison for doing it, when they KNEW he did not. What will they do for this FAR WORSE error? Crickets will abound.
It can’t be a mistake, Obama doesn’t make mistakes...
or so we have been told repeatedly.
Also I would imagine that the lowest shoeshine boy in
Kabul probably knew who the chief of station was.
Still I have to wonder if this was a warning to the CIA
to keep their mouths shut.
Kinda makes me wonder if the chief of station was
making waves that someone didn’t like.

Accidentally, my eye! As I noted on an earlier thread about this, they outed this guy on purpose. Either they want him killed, or they just want him out of country. He may have been asking too many questions about lax security or about some sneaky military contract that was given to one of the elites.
