Update: CIA Officer Fired for Leaking Classified Info to Media
WASHINGTON — A CIA officer has been relieved of his duty after being caught leaking classified information to the media.
CIA officials will not reveal the officer's name, assignment, or the information that was leaked. The firing is a highly unusual move, although there has been an ongoing investigation into leaks in the CIA.
One official called this a "damaging leak" that deals with operational information and said the fired officer "knowingly and willfully" leaked the information to the media and "was caught."
He's beyond disgraceful. The little twit is a joke.
Perhaps with Rove freed up a bit- he'll SEE the big picture here and make certain to do what you suggest.
Sure will be interesting to see who the next press secretary is now, eh?
Rats is right.

Report: Fitz Talked to Wilsons' Neighbors Today
The Los Angeles Times reports that Fitzgerald's team went out to interview neighbors of Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame Wilson today to ascertain whether they knew she worked for the CIA.
CNN had more tonight (available on Lexis.com):
A neighbor of Valerie Plame has been interviewed by FBI agents for the second time. The agents asked Marc Lefkowitz on Monday night whether he knew about Plame's work at the CIA before her identity was leaked in a July 2003 column. Lefkowitz told agents he did not, according to his wife, Elise Lefkowitz. ...Lefkowitz said this is the second time FBI agents have asked whether the couple was aware of Plame's CIA work. She said the first interview took place several months ago.
FBI agents are looking into who leaked Plame's name to the press. Federal law makes it a crime to deliberately reveal the identity of a CIA operative, and special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is heading a probe into the matter. (Posted 6:01 p.m.)
In an January 18 editorial in the Washington Post, Christopher Wolf, Ms. Plame's lawyer and a neighbor of the Wilsons, said even he didn't know she worked for the CIA before Novak's column.
The LA Times article also reports that Fitz was focused on Karl Rove today.
A deputy prosecutor called Rove's colleague this afternoon and interviewed him in depth about statements Rove may have made to reporters about the case, a lawyer familiar with the case said. "It appeared to me the prosecutor was trying to button up any holes that were remaining," the lawyer said.
Thanks...double rats.
DITTO.
I want photos and film of this! I know I won't get it, but would feel so good to sit and watch one of these treasonous establishment types be marched out in front of their other treacherous collegues.
Goss upset -- sure that the WH was aware, but was Goss's initiative. Very clear that it is the posture of this WH, and it has had an intimidating effect on officials ..
WooHoo!! WTG Goss!! And well done to the Prez for selecting him. The only way this would intimidate others is if they were guilty too...
Olbermann: "brazen dismissal for speaking to the media" !!!!
No, for betraying this country and damaging our national security you nitwit. Go back to discussing sports with Pat and leave news to people that can grasp this concept.
OMG. You're making it UP! (Nice reporting BTW)
Olberman ...doesn't he get embarrassed just listening to himself?
I'm pretty sure it was Rove who advised the President to make the moves that he made.
She's worked with Zinni, Wilson, Richard Clarke, donated 2,000 to Kerry, 5,000 to Ohio DNC and I found an article about her on a lefty site from 2005 about her being a true intellegence officer but it's been scrubbed clean off the net. Wonder why it was scrubbed and why they liked her so much. It was on Buzzflash. Bottom line, she's a Clintonista big time.
When they finally do come up with a counterattack strategy, it'll be brutal.

Whistleblowers come forward willingly, not after a polygraph and caught lying, then confess. She was caught with her treasonous hand in the cookie jar.
"She is a very big fish, so why is she out peddling secrets to the media? This will implicate a whole slew of dems."
Who hooked her up with the reporter? Or did she already know her?
I tried....honest!
I'm reviewing the 911 Commission report and her name, Clark and Berger are all over the place (joint memos and meetings).
Oh, I'm sure. I was just having a little fit of levity. I'm ok now.
