Administration bowls for Democrat Spies - CIA leak firing

I read an article by Newsweek today, Newsweek: CIA's McCarthy Denies She's the Source.

The article talks about the recent firing of Mary O. McCarthy, a senior official and CIA officer. The article discusses how McCarthy was fired for allegedly admitting to the leaking of classified information to journalists, possibly in relation to secret CIA prioson's around the world. McCarthy appears to have been an openly democratic intelligence officer, and is described by republican CIA officers that worked for her stated that he, "never saw her allow her political [views] to cloud her analytical judgment."

The troubling aspect of this story is that at the core McCarthy is alleged to have provided sensitive or classified information to the press. Then within the same article, Newsweek cites either a CIA official or Government Administration officials providing sensitive information about th alleged leaker of information, "The officials, who asked for anonymity because they were discussing sensitive information". The sensitive information in question being the facts that a 20 year CIA officer had been fired after admitting to having unauthorized contacts with the press during a polygraph session, polygraph's are not admissable in court and as such this case is unlikely to go to trial.


So in an administration riddled with leaks of classified information, the government fires a democratic CIA officer for admitting to contact with journalists during a session that cannot be admitted in a court trial as it was the result of a polygraph test. The administration can point the finger at a source of the leak. The alleged source of the leak is a democrat (bonus points for the administration). The situation will never go to trial as the evidence is inadmissable (more bonus points as no more dirty laundry can come out).

Some weeks there is just no winning for the United States when an administration can skip around reality.
