A Few More Mary McCarthy Leak Story Dots to Connect

By Paul on Politics

Charles Johnson et al have a few more dots to play with (link below).

From a story ostensibly trying to clear her...

<<< Secrets of the CIA

A former colleague says the fired Mary McCarthy 'categorically denies' being the source of the leak on agency renditions.

April 24, 2006 - A former CIA officer who was sacked last week after allegedly confessing to leaking secrets has denied she was the source of a controversial Washington Post story about alleged CIA secret detention operations in Eastern Europe, a friend of the operative told NEWSWEEK.

The fired official, Mary O. McCarthy, "categorically denies being the source of the leak," one of McCarthy's friends and former colleagues, Rand Beers, said Monday after speaking to McCarthy. Beers said he could not elaborate on this denial and McCarthy herself did not respond to a request for comment left by NEWSWEEK on her home answering machine. A national security advisor to Democratic Party candidate John Kerry during the 2004 presidential campaign, Beers worked as the head of intelligence programs on President Bill Clinton's National Security Council staff and later served as a top deputy on counter-terrorism [with Richard Clarke? -ED-] for President Bush in 2002 and 2003. McCarthy, a career CIA analyst, initially worked as a deputy to Beers on the NSC and later took over Beer's role as the Clinton NSC's top intelligence expert. ...

After being told by agency interrogators that she may have been deceptive on one quesiton during a polygraph, McCarthy did acknowledge that she had failed to report contacts with Washington Post reporter Dana Priest and at least one other reporter, said a source familiar with her account who asked not to be identified because of legal sensitivities. McCarthy has known Priest for some time, the source said. >>>

I bet she has.

The worth of the rest of the story is up for debate... But still, it seems odd the same circle of people keep coming down on the same side in this story.

I'm not sure this article does her any good.
