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.
