CIA Leaker Was Top Intel Aide to Clinton
The CIA officer fired Friday for leaking classified information to the
Washington Post about U.S. counterterrorism efforts once served as a top
intelligence aide to President Clinton.
Appointed in 1998 by then-National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, Mary
O'Neil McCarthy held the post of Special Assistant to the President and
Senior Director for Intelligence Programs.
Prior to her appointment as President Clinton's Special Assistant, McCarthy
served as the Clinton administration's National Intelligence Officer for
Warning from 1994-1996.
The loose-lipped spy was fired from her White House job in the first few
months of the Bush adminsitration and returned to the CIA.
McCarthy allegedly leaked critical national security information to
Washington Post reporter Dana Priest, who went on to report that the CIA
maintained a secret network of prisons overseas for high-ranking terrorism
suspects.
The former top Clinton advisor was cashiered after reportedly failing a
polygraph test conducted as part of several CIA investigations into leaks.
On Thursday she was escorted from the agency's Langley campus in McLean,
Va., an agency official told the Los Angeles Times.
One U.S. official indicated that McCarthy had engaged in a "pattern of
contacts" with more than one reporter, the Times said. McCarthy has not been
indicted in the case, though the Justice Department began a criminal
investigation into the CIA prison leak last December.

Colleagues Say C.I.A. Analyst Played by the Rules
By DAVID S. CLOUD
Published: April 23, 2006
WASHINGTON, April 22 — In 1998, when President Bill Clinton ordered
military strikes against a suspected chemical weapons factory in Sudan,
Mary O. McCarthy, a senior intelligence officer assigned to the White
House, warned the president that the plan relied on inconclusive
intelligence, two former government officials say.
Ms. McCarthy's reservations did not stop the attack on the factory, which
was carried out in retaliation for Al Qaeda's bombing of two American
embassies in East Africa. But they illustrated her willingness to
challenge intelligence data and methods endorsed by her bosses at the
Central Intelligence Agency.
On Thursday, the C.I.A. fired Ms. McCarthy, 61, accusing her of leaking
information to reporters about overseas prisons operated by the agency in
the years since the Sept. 11 attacks. But despite Ms. McCarthy's
independent streak, some colleagues who worked with her at the White House
and other offices during her intelligence career say they cannot imagine
her as a leaker of classified information.
As a senior National Security Council aide for intelligence from 1996 to
2001, she was responsible for guarding some of the nation's most important
secrets.
"We're talking about a person with great integrity who played by the book
and, as far as I know, never deviated from the rules," said Steven Simon,
a security council aide in the Clinton administration who worked closely
with Ms. McCarthy.
Others said it was possible that Ms. McCarthy — who made a contribution to
Senator John Kerry's presidential campaign in 2004 — had grown
increasingly disenchanted with the methods adopted by the Bush
administration for handling Qaeda prisoners.
Ms. McCarthy, who began attending law school at night several years ago
and was preparing to retire from the C.I.A., may have felt she had no
alternative but to go to the press.
If in fact Ms. McCarthy was the leaker, Richard J. Kerr, a former C.I.A.
deputy director, said, "I have no idea what her motive was, but there is a
lot of dissension within the agency, and it seems to be a rather unhappy
place." Mr. Kerr called Ms. McCarthy "quite a good, substantive person on
the issues I dealt with her on."
Larry Johnson, a former C.I.A. officer who worked for Ms. McCarthy in the
agency's Latin America section, said, "It looks to me like Mary is being
used as a sacrificial lamb."
Ms. McCarthy did not respond Saturday to e-mail and telephone messages
seeking comment.
During her time at the White House, she was known as a low-key
professional who paid special attention to preventing leaks of classified
information and covert operations, several current and former government
officials said. When she disagreed with decisions on intelligence
operations, they said, she registered her complaints through internal
government channels.
Some former intelligence officials who worked with Ms. McCarthy saw her as
a persistent obstacle to aggressive antiterrorism efforts.
"She was always of the view that she would rather not get her hands dirty
with covert action," said Michael Scheuer, a former C.I.A. official, who
said he had been in meetings with Ms. McCarthy where she voiced doubts
about reports that the factory had ties to Al Qaeda and was secretly
producing substances for chemical weapons.
In the case of the Al Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum, Sudan, her
concerns may have been well-founded. Sudanese officials and the plant's
owner denied any connection to Al Qaeda.
In the aftermath of the attack, the internal White House debate over
whether the intelligence reports about the plant were accurate spilled
into the press. Eventually, Clinton administration officials conceded that
the hardest evidence used to justify striking the plant was a single soil
sample that seemed to indicate the presence of a chemical used in making
VX gas.
Ms. McCarthy was concerned enough about the episode that she wrote a
formal letter of dissent to President Clinton, two former officials said.
Over the last decade, Ms. McCarthy gradually came to have one foot in the
secret world of intelligence and another in the public world of policy.
She went from lower-level analyst working in obscurity at C.I.A.
headquarters in Langley, Va., to someone at home "downtown," as Washington
is called by agency veterans, where policy is more openly fought over and
leaks are far more common.
Though she was a C.I.A. employee for more than 20 years, associates said,
her early professional experience was not in the world of spying and
covert operations.
After a previous career that one former colleague said included time as a
flight attendant, she earned a doctorate in history from the University of
Minnesota.
She worked for a Swiss company "conducting risk assessments for
international businesses and banks," Ms. McCarthy wrote in a brief
biography she provided to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks
Upon the United States, also called the 9/11 Commission. She testified
before the commission in 2003. The biography notes that she once wrote "a
book on the social history of Ghana."
Even after joining the C.I.A. in 1984, Ms. McCarthy, who was hired as an
intelligence analyst for Africa, was far from a covert operative. In the
late 1980's, she was promoted to management, taking over as chief of the
Central America and Caribbean section, though she had no previous
experience in the region, said a former officer who worked with her.
By 1991, she was working as deputy to one of the agency's most senior
analysts, Charles E. Allen, whose job as "national intelligence officer
for warning" was to anticipate major national security threats. Ms.
McCarthy took over the job from Mr. Allen in 1994 and moved to the Clinton
White House two years later.
Rand Beers, who at the time was Mr. Clinton's senior intelligence aide on
the National Security Council, said he had hired Ms. McCarthy to be his
deputy.
"Anybody who works for Charlie Allen and then replaces him has got to be
good," said Mr. Beers, who went on to serve as an adviser to Mr. Kerry's
campaign in 2004. Ms. McCarthy took over from Mr. Beers as the senior
director for intelligence programs in 1998.
Though she was not among the C.I.A. officials who briefed Mr. Clinton
every morning on the latest intelligence, she "worked on some of the most
sensitive programs," a former White House aide said, and was responsible
for notifying Congress when covert action was being undertaken.
The aide and the other unnamed officials were granted anonymity because
they did not want to be identified as discussing her official duties
because she may be under criminal investigation.
When President Bush took office in 2001, Ms. McCarthy's career seemed to
stall. A former Bush administration official who worked with her said that
although Ms. McCarthy was a career C.I.A. employee, as a holdover from the
Clinton administration she was regarded with suspicion and was gradually
eased out of her job as senior director for intelligence programs. She
left several months into Mr. Bush's first term.
But she did not return immediately to a new assignment at C.I.A.
headquarters. She took an extended sabbatical at the Center for Strategic
and International Studies, a Washington research organization. In late
2003, she testified publicly before the 9/11 Commission about ways to
reorganize the intelligence agencies to prevent another major terrorism
attack.
She served on a Markle Foundation group, the Task Force on National
Security in the Information Age, working with academics as well as current
and former government officials on recommendations for sharing classified
information more widely within the government, according to a report
issued by the group. The report identifies Ms. McCarthy as a
"nongovernment" expert.
H. Andrew Schwartz, a spokesman for the Center for Strategic and
International Studies, said that Ms. McCarthy's relationship with the
organization lasted from 2001 to 2003.
Several associates of Ms. McCarthy said she returned to the C.I.A. in
2004, taking a job in the inspector general's office. That year, public
records show, she contributed $2,000 to Mr. Kerry's presidential campaign,
identifying herself as a "government analyst."
Married with one child, she also began attending law school at night, two
former co-workers said, and talked about switching to a career in public
interest law.
After an article last November in The Washington Post reported that the
C.I.A. was sending terror suspects to clandestine detention centers in
several countries, including some in Eastern Europe, Porter J. Goss, the
agency's director, ordered polygraphs for intelligence officers who knew
about certain "compartmented" programs, including the secret detention
centers for terrorism suspects.
Polygraphs are routinely given to agency employees at least every five
years, but special ones can be ordered when a security breach is
suspected.
Government officials said that after Ms. McCarthy's polygraph examination
showed the possibility of deception, the examiner confronted her and she
disclosed having had conversations with reporters.
But some former C.I.A. employees who know Ms. McCarthy remain unconvinced,
arguing that the pressure from Mr. Goss and others in the Bush
administration to plug leaks may have led the agency to focus on an
employee on the verge of retirement, whose work at the White House during
the Clinton administration had long raised suspicions within the current
administration.

Rice Leaked Information
By Richard B. Schmitt
The Los Angeles Times
Saturday 22 April 2006
The secretary of State and three other officials are to be subpoenaed. The
defense says they told secrets to employees of a pro-Israel group.
Alexandria - Lawyers for two lobbyists accused of conspiring to obtain
secret defense information said Friday that they intended to prove that
senior administration officials, including Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice, provided the lobbyists with some of the sensitive information.
Ratcheting up their defense against espionage charges, the lawyers,
representing former employees of the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee, got tentative clearance from US District Judge T.S. Ellis III to
subpoena Rice and three other officials in the case.
It was unclear whether Rice and the other officials would agree to be
questioned or to testify. Ellis put off trial of the closely watched case,
previously set to begin May 23, until Aug. 7.
The escalating legal battle could redefine the way information is
circulated in Washington. The charges are part of a Justice Department
crackdown on leaks of classified information that officials say hurt
national security. Some interest groups and media organizations say the case
could chill their rights under the 1st Amendment.
At a hearing Friday, Abbe Lowell, the lawyer for former AIPAC employee
Steven J. Rosen, said the testimony of Rice and the other officials was
necessary to show that they also had disclosed sensitive information and
that some of the disclosures at the crux of the indictments might have been
authorized.
Each of the officials "has real-life dealings with the defendants in
this case. They'll explain what they told Dr. Rosen in detail," Lowell said.
"Day One É Rice tells him certain information. Day Two É [someone else named
in the indictment] tells him the same thing" or similar information.
Ellis approved subpoenas for David Satterfield, deputy chief of the US
mission to Iraq; William J. Burns, US ambassador to Russia; and retired
Marine Gen. Anthony C. Zinni, in addition to Rice.
Prosecutors disputed the allegation that Rice had improperly leaked
information, and opposed the subpoenas. Rice "never gave national defense
information" to Rosen, Assistant US Atty. Kevin DiGregory told Ellis.
Rosen and former AIPAC employee Keith Weissman are charged with
collaborating with former Pentagon analyst Lawrence A. Franklin to collect
secret defense information about the Middle East.
Franklin was sentenced Jan. 20 to more than 12 years in prison for
giving classified information to Rosen, Weissman and an Israeli diplomat.
Ellis also approved a defense subpoena for Franklin.
The indictment alleges a conspiracy dating to 1999, including meetings
with two other government officials at which secret information was
disclosed. Those officials are not charged in the case. Though they are not
identified in the indictment, one of them is reported to be Satterfield.
According to prosecutors, Rosen and Weissman assiduously acquired
information about a range of secrets, including a sensitive analysis of US
policy in Iran. AIPAC fired them last year, saying they acted contrary to
the best interests of the organization.
Lowell did not say in court what information Rice and the other
officials might have provided, and declined to elaborate afterward.
"This is not a stunt," he said, leaving the courthouse.
The charges were brought under the 1917 Espionage Act, which has been
used mostly to prosecute government employees accused of betraying the
nation's secrets. Ellis has called the case unprecedented and is considering
a motion by the defense to dismiss the indictment on grounds that the
espionage law is unconstitutional. Such a move would obviate a trial.
Lowell argued Friday that the law infringed on the 1st Amendment rights
of lobbyists to petition the government. He said the government's
interpretation of the World War I-era statute would clear the way for
prosecutions of journalists who obtained classified information in the
course of their reporting.
DiGregory said that Rosen and Weissman had knowingly broken the law and
that the case was about stealing rather than speech. Prosecutors recently
submitted to Ellis a classified exhibit "demonstrating the willfulness of
the defendants' criminal conduct in this case," according to a court filing.

Spokesman Denies Rice Leaked Defense Info
By Matthew Barakat
The Associated Press
Saturday 22 April 2006
Alexandria - Condoleezza Rice's spokesman on Saturday branded as
"utterly false" a lawyer's claim the secretary of state leaked national
defense information to a pro-Israel lobbyist charged with receiving and
disclosing such information.
The assertion came as a federal judge granted a defense request to issue
subpoenas for Rice and three other government officials in the trial of
Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman, the former lobbyists with the American
Israel Public Affairs Committee charged in the case.
"The claims by these defense lawyers are utterly false," Rice's
spokesman, Sean McCormack, told The Associated Press.
"The secretary is the most careful person in the handling of classified
information and she absolutely did not convey classified information to
either of these individuals," McCormack said.
Prosecutors also disputed the claim.
Defense lawyers want a judge to dismiss the charges because the lawyers
believe the case seeks to criminalize the type of backchannel exchanges
among government officials, lobbyists and the press that are common in
Washington.
During Friday's hearing, US District Judge T.S. Ellis III said he is
considering dismissing the entire case because the law used to prosecute
Rosen and Weissman may be unconstitutionally vague and broad and may
infringe on freedom of speech.
Rosen's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, said the testimony of Rice and others is
needed to show that some top government officials approved of disclosing
sensitive information to the defendants and that the leaks may have been
authorized.
But Assistant US Attorney Kevin DiGregory said Rice "never gave national
defense information to Mr. Rosen."
The issuance of subpoenas does not automatically require Rice or anybody
else to testify or give a deposition. A recipient can seek to quash the
subpoena.
The judge also granted subpoenas for David Satterfield, deputy chief of
the US mission to Iraq; William Burns, US ambassador to Russia and retired
Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni.
"Each of these individuals have real-life dealings with the defendants
in this case. They'll explain what they told Dr. Rosen in detail," Lowell
said. "On day one, Secretary of State Rice tells him certain info and on day
two one of the conspirators tells him the same thing or something less
volatile."
The indictment against Rosen and Weissman alleges that three government
officials leaked sensitive and sometimes classified national defense
information to the two lobbyists, who subsequently revealed what they
learned to the press and to an Israeli government official.
One of the three government officials is former Pentagon official
Lawrence A. Franklin. He pleaded guilty to providing classified defense
information to Rosen and Weissman and was sentenced to more than 12 years in
prison.
Franklin has said he was concerned that the United States was
insufficiently concerned about the threat posed by Iran and hoped that
leaking information might eventually provoke the National Security Council
to take a different course of action.
The indictment against Rosen, of Silver Spring, Md., and Weissman, of
Bethesda, Md., alleges that they conspired to obtain classified government
reports on issues relevant to US policy, including the al-Qaida terror
network; the bombing of the Khobar Towers dormitory in Saudi Arabia, which
killed 19 US Air Force personnel; and US policy in Iran.
Lowell said it is impossible for Rosen and Weissman to determine what is
sensitive national defense information when they are receiving the
information from government officials who presumably understand national
security law and therefore would not improperly disclose national defense
information.
The World War I-era law has never been used to prosecute lobbyists
before.

Weldon blasts Sestak's ties with fired CIA senior analyst
William Bender , Of the Times Staff
The senior intelligence analyst who was fired Thursday by the CIA is a
supporter of Democratic congressional candidate Joseph Sestak, which U.S.
Rep. Curt Weldon's campaign charged is further evidence that the former Navy
admiral cannot be trusted on national security issues.
Mary McCarthy was dismissed for leaking classified information about
the CIA's secret overseas prisons to The Washington Post, several media
organizations reported Saturday.
Sestak, who served as director for defense policy on Bill Clinton's
National Security Council, received two donations from McCarthy last month
totaling $350. McCarthy also contributed $2,000 to Sen. John Kerry's 2004
presidential campaign.
Weldon's campaign reiterated that Sestak accepted contributions from
former Clinton National Security Adviser Samuel "Sandy" Berger and former
CIA Director John Deutch -- both of whom have admitted to mishandling
classified information.
"'Where will this end?" asked Weldon campaign spokesman Michael
Puppio. "Sestak and the Clinton people are attempting to infect Delaware
County with these scandals."
Berger, who last month hosted a Washington fund-raiser for Sestak and
contributed $1,000 to his campaign, pleaded guilty last year to a
misdemeanor charge of removing and destroying classified material from the
National Archives.
Deutch was pardoned by Clinton in 2001 for storing classified
intelligence reports on personal computers linked to the Internet. He gave
$500 to Sestak's campaign.
"The guy is in the campaign 2½ months and he's got contributors who
are national criminals and the scandal is following him," Puppio said of
Sestak. "Now," he added, "a fired CIA employee who may face criminal charges
as a result of this also gave" to the Democrat's campaign.
Sestak campaign spokeswoman Allison Price said Weldon's "silly"
attacks and "conspiracy theories" are signs that he is desperate to hold on
to his seat.
"Joe is an extremely strong candidate. He was a three-star admiral. Of
course Weldon is going to throw anything at the wall and see what sticks,"
she said.
Price said Sestak stands by his former colleagues in the Clinton
administration and is proud of the work they accomplished in the 1990s.
"These are people that know Joe and support Joe and know that he is
capable," she said.
McCarthy, who was reportedly serving in the CIA's inspector general's
office at the time of her firing, was appointed by Berger in 1998 as special
assistant to the president and senior director for intelligence programs.
Weldon officials also suspect McCarthy leaked information to the media
last year in an attempt to debunk the congressman's book, "Countdown to
Terror," which is highly critical of the CIA. Weldon plans to call for a FBI
investigation "to see what national security information she leaked and who
she leaked it to," Puppio said.
Sestak entered the 7th District race in February and is widely
regarded as the strongest Democratic challenger Weldon has ever faced.
In some previous elections, the 10-term Republican hasn't acknowledged
his Democratic opponent. This year, however, his campaign has launched a
full assault on Sestak, labeling him as a candidate who was "handpicked" by
former Clinton officials to oust Weldon.
Sestak has previously told the Daily Times that no individual or
organization asked him to run for Congress and that the decision was solely
his own.

I am neither a "leftist", nor a lover of terrorists. If you are accusing me
of either, I ask that you back up that assertion. So far - you've refused
to back up your bullshit accusations like the typical right-wing coward that
you are. I see you intend to continue making outrageous lies and refusing
to back them up.
That seems to be what you people do best, so do keep up the good work.

Did you read the subject line, asshole?
Now read this again:
The CIA officer fired Friday for leaking classified information to the
Washington Post about U.S. counterterrorism efforts once served as a top
intelligence aide to President Clinton.
Appointed in 1998 by then-National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, Mary
O'Neil McCarthy held the post of Special Assistant to the President and
Senior Director for Intelligence Programs.

& this:
Unfit for Command
Once again John Kerry sides with the enemy.
Did I say enemy? Yes. Anyone, like Mary McCarthy, who uses her public trust
to undermine the war on terrorism is the enemy. The Washington Post can wrap
itself and its source in civil liberties, but the public rightly won't buy
it. These prisons in Europe reportedly exist to interrogate and house al
Qaeda terrorists. While people may disagree over the war in Iraq, almost
nobody disagrees that al-Qaeda must be destroyed.
The Democrat party is clearly lining up behind McCarthy now. The talking
points have already been issued. Yesterday, Robert Menendez said this:
Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., called on President Bush to hold accountable
those in his administration who leaked information about the Iraq
intelligence in the run-up to the war and outed undercover CIA operative
Valerie Plame. "Apparently, President Bush doesn't believe what's good for
the CIA is good for the White House," Menendez said.
More here.
Today, John Kerry said this, in part:
. Here's my fundamental view of this, that you have somebody being fired
from the CIA for allegedly telling the truth, and you have no one fired from
the White House for revealing a CIA agent in order to support a lie. That
underscores what's really wrong in Washington, DC here. .
More here.
Not that the truth matters to propagandists, but Plame was not a "CIA agent"
and a federal prosecutor has not charged anyone at the White House with
leaking her name. Moreover, revealing her name would not have been a crime
because, as is now clear, Plame was not undercover. But Kerry continues to
repeat this lie because he and his ilk seek to divert attention from the
very serious national-security breach committed by his contributor, Mary
McCarthy.
Kerry also asserts that McCarthy was telling the truth when she leaked
national-security information and that, somehow, she deserves some kind of
special dispensation as a result. If we were grading his comprehension, he'd
get a D. Do we know all she leaked? We know she revealed the existence of
supposed CIA prisons in Europe. But we don't know if the information she
provided Dana Priest was truthful or accurate. And we don't know what else
she may have leaked in her many contacts with the media. And Kerry doesn't
seem the least bit curious about it, either. Moreover, it most cases I would
think it is far more damaging to our nation's security if high officials are
leaking truthful information about our war activities.
Kerry has demonstrated, once again, why he's unfit for command.
& this:
Washington -- National Security Advisor Samuel R. Berger announced June 16
the appointment of Mary O'Neil McCarthy as Special Assistant to the
President and Senior Director for Intelligence Programs.
She succeeds Rand Beers in that post, an announcement by the office of the
White House Press Secretary said.
Mary McCarthy had been Director of Intelligence Programs on the National
Security Council Staff since July 1996. Previously, said the White House,
Mrs. McCarthy served as the National Intelligence Officer for Warning from
1994-1996 and as the Deputy National Intelligence Officer for Warning from
1991-1994.

> Did you read the subject line, asshole?
Yep.
Now tell me how it's relevant.
The woman was hired by Reagan, and promoted by Bush Sr.
Fact.
Now fuck off back to your right-wing fantasy land where you unAmerican
cocksuckers plan your continued treason against America.
bully
That's what all you leftist Islamic lovers say!
bully
Truth doesn't matter to liberals!
As I have said before:
From the insults and name calling, it is obvious the element of truth
is too hard for liberals' mind to except. Liberals, like children, lash
out when they are 'caught' in their web of deceit. Liberals' reaction is
sometimes very violent- similar to psychotics' when confronted with the
truth against the delusional world they have created for themselves. Of
course in the case of the mental patient, we can treat with medicine and
straight jackets; in the liberal case, we must endure their violent
reaction in the name of 'politics.'
Papa Joe is a good example of this!

This is really kind of strange, on one hand leaking has been accepted
as working practice of the President, and on another hand a leakers is
investigated with unprecidented extremity.
Once again the Bush model is clear: Alll Power Goes to Bush. Bush
will do things without the least concern for consequences, leaking,
torture, lying to the public to make war, stealing elections. On the
same hand as he violates law, constitution, and humanity he unleashes a
massive legal exercise to purge possible enemies or just those who
disagree with the law.
If Bush and he team could actually every accomplish anything they would
be a lot scarier.

After changing acutal to actual, reread the 1st sentence above, libloon.
Amanda Williams
@fe12.lga:
Well Pukie, you know just how much I HATE to be picky :o), but Plamegate
covers the whole of the Valerie Plame/Niger Uranium/Joe Wilson stuff and
little georgie has already admitted authorising the "declassification"
and the leaking to reporters of material via "Scooter" Libby, who
confirmed same in front of the GJ.
So again, where did anyone claim that georgie leaked Plame's name?
Take your time....
Pookie
Oh, YOU decide the definition...such as what "is" is...very good,
Clinton-spinning lackey. Even in your wishful scenario, declassifying
something isn't leaking. OTOH, McCarthy broke the law & her oath & was
fired...keep spinning, libloon...
Amanda Williams
Ahhhh... yet another phoney repug. "strawman" bites the dust... rotfl..
But Leaking is Leaking Pukie, ya can't polish a turd, you are either
against ALL leaking or you are a complete hypocrite.
btw, what law did Ms. McCarthy break?
Pookie

I don't have her jailed & convicted as I don't have Libby jailed &
convicted.
