CIA's Mary O. McCarthy: Treachery for Partisan Motives


Mary O. McCarthy has been fired from the CIA for leaking highly sensitive, classified information to reporters who then proceeded to publish the information for which they won Pulitzer prizes! But it gets much worst: Mary O. McCarthy turns out to be a partisan Democrat and Clinton appointee; a crony of disgraced former Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy Burger, and a financial contributor to various Democrat candidates, including $2,000 to the John Kerry campaign against President Bush. That a CIA employee would be willing to disclose highly classified national security secrets for partisan political motives is a big eye-opener and a blow to Democrats. The information disclosed (secret CIA detention facilities in Eastern European countries) was critical to national security and the on-going war on terror. It will be interesting to see how Democrats handle this issue in contrast to the insignificant Valerie Plame leak that they turned into a huge scandal. Senator John Kerry already seems to be downplaying the matter.
Update: McCarthy ‘categorically denies’ being the source of the leak
