"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."
More than 6,000 recipients saw it. They don't know now if he'll have to flee the country.
Where is all of the Valerie Plame lib crowd now?
This is much worse then Armitage naming a low level CIA analyst during a casual conversation.
This is just more proof of this inept, dysfunctional, Keystone Cops, Obama administrarion. there are no adults in charge, just a bunch of democratic party hacks....
That entire Plame investigation as a travesty of justice, the prosecutor knew who the leaker was wihin the first days of his investigtion, and dragged it out for years .
This seems more like a careless mistake than anything else, still it should never happen. What makes it worse is that the media had to inform them of their mistake, after 6 years they should have the experience
I think it was a mistake but what bothers me is the media is concentrating on how bad it is and someone should be fired and all I want to know is whether the CIA Station Chief and his family are now safe. You know, I hope he's/she's not hanging around waiting for the administration to get to the bottom of it.

The biggest problem is that the press know who he is and where he is now.
if you remember when valerie plame got outed, also an accidental outing by the way, the press and others were calling for peoples heads on a platter, including that of bush. they wanted bush impeached over the issue.
The Valerie Plame outing was deliberate political retribution for the public statements of her husband.
You need to change your handle. Something like TryingToRewriteHistoryDude. Almost every word you post on this forum is wrong.
Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame's husband was critical of the White House contention that Ira was importing nuclear weapons grade uranium from Niger, a few days later Plame's status as a CIA agent was leaked to one reporter Novak who then exposed her as a CIA agent. Dick Cheney's top aide Scooter Libby was later convicted of lying to the FBI about the leaks.

What does your history look like?
Your history doesn't include Richard Armitage, does it?
Everyone on the Washington cocktail circuit knew where Plame worked anyway.
