"The U.S. government has accidentally named the top spy in Afghanistan on a memo given to reporters accompanying President Barack Obama on a surprise visit to Kabul. The memorandum included an individual named as ‘Chief of Station’ - the title given to the top CIA officer in a given country. It was immediately retracted, and a new memo was issued. The security breach was first reported late yesterday evening by the Washington Post, which declined to name the officer publicly for fear of putting him or his family at risk."
It reads like another Benghazi.
But don't worry..it's been resolved.
There was a hearing in March and a retired DoD commander since 2007 showed up and read a statement that said their helicopter got shot at by a lucky terrorist, everything got burnt beyond recognition so they had to cremate all the bodies over there and the black box got lost in a flash flood. The 7 strange Afghan soldiers not on the manifest just got on the wrong helicopter with the Seals instead of the Rangers. All procedures were followed. Congratulations were done all around the committee room where less than 1/2 of the investigation panel showed up and they closed the investigation.
I don't believe there was anything that came from that investigation, any links on that information.

Now that I dug it up I summarized incorrectly.
Gary Reid did retire from the military in 2007 but was working for the DoD as Deputy for Low Intensity Conflict.
There's other articles out there..none from MSM sites though.

I don't see anything in the first 2 links you posted that would indicate anything, the Chinook was shot down by an RPG. There were 8 Afghans killed along with the Navy Seals, they are a joint force in many operations where is the proof and what does undocumented Afghans mean.
A Chinook is an easy target, for anyone with an RPG.

Under the Bush administration, the identity of CIA employee Valerie Plame was revealed. The ditzy press went into a snit, because a) she’s pretty, b) a decade earlier she had an undercover CIA job, and c) her husband, a State department employee, was openly critical of Bush’s Saddam war. Books were written on the subject, movies made, Congressional hearings held. There were talk-show adoration-fests, and calls for W to resign because *he damaged our nation’s security*. The full blahblah of liberal outrage.
The Obama administration made a boo-boo in Kabul which revealed the identity of the CIA station chief there. The media/political response?
Crickets
It was the Washington Post that discovered the CIA Station Chief was "outed" in Kabul - they informed the Clueless White House. Breaking News today is that The Commander in Chief has called for an "investigation" (internal of course) to find out who did this. :roll eyes: Obama is determined to "get to the bottom of it"
The last paragraph of the CBS story says that CBS is withholding the name of the person who released the secret information ...... and so is every other "News" organization, because they all got the same Press Release - which was signed by the "leaker".
It's a circular firing squad and all the guns are loaded with blanks.
