One story in the Plame Game that always tantalized me was the Knight Ridder story that came out June 12, 2003. It is one of the first three stories (the other two being the Kristof and Pincus articles) that dealt with the Joe Wilson story. No one really discusses this story much anymore, but it […]

The source on Mary McCarthy’s career is definitely Spook86 at In From The Cold. You’ll note that many media accounts describe the leaker as an “analyst,” suggesting that she was, at best, a mid-level staffer. That was hardly the case; few analysts make the jump from a regional desk at Langley to the White House. […]

Mac Ranger has inside sources which provide a lot of insight into what is happening. Don’t miss his latest post – it is a big one. A tease or two seems to be in order: …Mary’s discovery definitely came as a part of a tip, most likely on the promise of immunity, which I find […]

Atlas Shrugs has the story of an Al Qaeda agent or spy caught in the US, supposedly planning to take out the US Global Positioning System (GPS). That is one tough target for a group like this. Still, one wonders if NSA leads tipped off the authorities that this person was heading to the US.

*** update at end: McCarthy was Larry Johnson’s Boss *** In a sign that is surely not good for Mary McCarthy, the far left is coming to her defense to leak secrets and calling for the serious, professionals at CIA to be censured: Robert David STEELE Vivas, a career intelligence officer who went on to […]

The Washington Post confirms my suspicions on how Mary McCarthy was detected through a series of polygraph tests (not the ‘gotcha’ single round you would see in a sting). CIA officials said the career intelligence officer failed more than one polygraph test and acknowledged unauthorized contacts with reporters. The “officer knowingly and willfully shared classified […]

Iraq has a Prime Minister and now its new, permanent Democratic government. Jawad al-Maliki, an experienced political operator and advocate for Iraq’s Shiite Muslims, won the approval of Shiite party leaders for the post of prime minister on Friday, a day after the parties’ original nominee bowed out under political pressure. … On Friday night, […]

Rick Moran poses the idea the recent CIA leak nabbing could have been a sting operation. His logic is sound: the day of the news breaking on the CIA Officer being fired, news comes out that the EU cannot find any evidence of the prisons described in the Washington Post story by Dana Priest. It […]

To avoid adding to an already cluttered post I will simply note the NY Times is reporting that Mary McCarthy, the CIA officer fired for leaking information on CIA secret prisons to the Washington Post, may have leaked more than once and on more than one subject: Intelligence officials speaking on the condition of anonymity […]
