Idiot Obama Admin "Outs" CIA Station Chief in Afghanistan

[Sailor]

White House staff tried to 'un-ring the bell' after revealing CIA chief's identity

The White House blew the cover of the top CIA agent in Afghanistan on Sunday, when the person’s name was included on a list given to reporters during a visit to the country by President Barack Obama.

The name was then emailed by the White House press office to a distribution list of more than 6,000 recipients, mostly members of the US media.

The agent in question, listed as chief of station, would be a top manager of CIA activity in Afghanistan, including intelligence collection and a drone-warfare programme under which unmanned aerial vehicles mount cross-border attacks into Pakistan.

The name appeared on a list of attendees requested by White House officials for the president’s visit to Bagram air base to mark Memorial Day, the national day of tribute to fallen service members. The list of 15 people was drawn up by the military, written into a routine press report and sent to Washington. The Obama press office then sent the list, unredacted, to the larger group.

Of course, if the MSM in this country follows this story at all they'll try to link this to Dubya, Cheney and Scooter Libby. Anyone remember the firestorm stirred up by the Left over the outting of Valery Plame, not-so "Secret Agent?"

BTW she was "outted" by Richard Armatige, not by Dubya, Cheney and most especially not by Libby ... the only guy tried over this by an over zellous special prosecutor who had to justify his existance somehow.

As I've said before, if it weren't for double standards the left would have no standards at all.

Agreed.
