White House launches internal probe into accidental outing of CIA official

Published May 27, 2014
·FoxNews.com

The White House has launched an internal probe after its press office inadvertently outed the top CIA official in Afghanistan -- a national security blunder that could put that individual at risk.

A spokeswoman with the National Security Council confirmed to Fox News that the White House chief of staff asked White House Counsel Neil Eggleston to “look into what happened” and make recommendations on “how the administration can improve processes and make sure something like this does not happen again.”

The brief statement from the National Security Council was the first on-the-record comment made by the administration since the CIA official’s name was disclosed over the weekend. The internal review, though, reflects the severity of the error.

The official's name, identified as "chief of station," was included in the White House press office's basic list of senior officials President Obama met with during his surprise visit to Afghanistan’s Bagram air base on Sunday. The list of 15 names apparently came first from the military, and was circulated by the White House press office.

Even though I'm a progressive liberal who believes everything obama tells me,  I'm with you on this one,  markle.  Our government is so incompetent that it makes me sick to my stomach.

But if you think it's going to be any more competent with republicans in power, I have a lot in River Ranch Acres I'd like to offer you.

They wanted retribution, so they went after his wife. Isn't that why Scooter Libby was convicted?

Your misinformed status on this is not at all surprising. What's more, she was not undercover and had been working in Washington for more than two years. You are so easy.

Armitage's Leak

By Robert D. Novak
Thursday, September 14, 2006

When Richard Armitage finally acknowledged last week that he was my source three years ago in revealing Valerie Plame Wilson as a CIA employee, the former deputy secretary of state's interviews obscured what he really did. I want to set the record straight based on firsthand knowledge.

First, Armitage did not, as he now indicates, merely pass on something he had heard and that he "thought" might be so. Rather, he identified to me the CIA division where Mrs. Wilson worked and said flatly that she recommended the mission to Niger by her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson.

Second, Armitage did not slip me this information as idle chitchat, as he now suggests. He made clear that he considered it especially suited for my column.

...Years ago there was the FALSE Valarie Plame disclosure...

Nice Try.... If it was a FALSE disclosure, then why was I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby convicted on four of the five counts he was indicted on with regards to the Plame affair? Why were the felonies  left on his record after George W. Bush commuted his 30 month prison sentence? Why was he disbarred in Washington D.C.? Keep up the good work, Markel

Please tell us exactly what Scooter Libby was convicted for having done.

Hint, President William Jefferson Clinton was convicted for the same thing and it had nothing to do with his disclosure of Valerie Plame.

Now, back to REAL disclosure, that by President Barack Hussein Obama and his press release to the White House journalists traveling with the President.

What the fuck has the CIA accomplished for us in the past thirty years? Zero. Zip. Nada. Why should anyone care if a CIA official gets outed, on purpose or by accident?

Herr Markle, it's clear you see the CIA as a heroic outfit filled with noble, patriotic folks.

I see it as a cabal led by bloodsucking corporate oligarchs.

I really don't care if a CIA agent or all of them get "outed."

WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was convicted Tuesday of lying and obstructing a leak investigation that reached into the highest levels of the Bush administration.
Libby is the highest-ranking White House official to be convicted of a felony since the Iran-Contra scandal of the mid-1980s. The case brought new attention to the Bush administration's much-criticized handling of weapons of mass destruction intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war.
The verdict culminated a nearly four-year investigation into how CIA official Valerie Plame's name was leaked to reporters in 2003. The trial revealed that top members of the administration were eager to discredit Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who accused the administration of doctoring prewar intelligence on Iraq.
Libby, who was once Cheney's most trusted adviser and an assistant to President Bush, was expressionless as the jury verdict was announced on the 10th day of deliberations. His wife, Harriet Grant, choked out a sob and lowered her head.
Libby could face up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced June 5 but under federal sentencing guidelines is likely to face far less. Defense attorneys immediately promised to ask for a new trial or appeal the conviction.
Cheney said late Tuesday he was disappointed with the verdict.
"I am saddened for Scooter and his family," Cheney said. "Scooter has served our nation tirelessly and with great distinction through many years of public service."

“We have every confidence Mr. Libby ultimately will be vindicated,” defense attorney Theodore Wells told a throng of reporters. “We believe Mr. Libby is totally innocent and that he didn’t do anything wrong.”
Libby did not speak to reporters.
No more charges
“The results are actually sad,” Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said. “It’s sad that we had a situation where a high-level official person who worked in the office of the vice president obstructed justice and lied under oath. We wish that it had not happened, but it did.”

No one is surprised that you wish Americans, working hard for their country, to be killed.

You've finally put it up in bold letters, again, that your a hard left Socialist, we'll wait for the admission that you're a Communist. In the mean time, don't you really think you should change the spelling of your signature from the name of Adolph Hitler's personal train to what you really believe.

Which says that he never disclosed that she was not working undercover and had actually been in the US at a desk job for more than two years.

"Libby was convicted of one count of obstruction, two counts of perjury and one count of lying to the FBI about how he learned Plame’s identity and whom he told. Prosecutors said he learned about Plame from Cheney and others, discussed her name with reporters and, fearing prosecution, made up a story to make those discussions seem innocuous."

Please read the article I posted...to show who it was that disclosed her name.

Now please refer to the issue at hand as to who outed a REAL CIA OPERATIVE in Afghanistan. Who was responsible for that, exactly?
