more Mary McCarthy

* wapoA1:

"A lawyer representing fired CIA officer Mary O. McCarthy said yesterday that his client did not leak any classified information and did not disclose to Washington Post reporter Dana Priest the existence of secret CIA-run prisons in Eastern Europe for suspected terrorists."

this whole mccarthy thing is getting fishier and fishier.

remember larisa:

"And why did he time it to coincide with revelations that Secretary Condoleezza Rice passed classified information to the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in the same manner as the now imprisoned Larry Franklin?"

the condi story seemed to get sucked into the memory hole already. mission accomplished.

more from WaPo:

A onetime Africa specialist who served in the early 1990s as the NIC's senior officer responsible for warning of imminent security threats to the country, McCarthy went on to help oversee U.S. intelligence programs on the National Security Council from 1996 to 2001. In that role, she had access to details of every covert intelligence action authorized by the president.

she got fired ten days before her retirement... but she gets to keep her pension. so long as she keeps her mouth shut...
