CIA Leaker Fired

Via AP/Yahoo:

WASHINGTON - The CIA has fired an employee for leaking classified information to the news media, an agency official said Friday. A federal criminal investigation has also been opened.

I suppose more details will come out soon enough, but the article contained a hint:

A second law enforcement official confirmed there was a criminal investigation under way and said the CIA officer had provided information that contributed to a Washington Post story last year saying there were secret U.S. prisons in Eastern Europe.

I wonder if the investigation will net any of the fired employee's accomplices?

This story is likely to grow.
