Did defense attorneys help Guantanamo terrorists identify covert CIA agents?

That's the question Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform wants answered:

<<< Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has asked Attorney General Eric Holder for more details on press reports that U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has been asked to investigate whether attorneys defending terrorist suspects currently held at Guantanamo Bay provided photographs of CIA employees to their clients.

“Defense attorneys for terrorists have allegedly shown these photographs to detainees held at Guantanamo Bay,” said Issa. “The apparent purpose of this effort is to allow the detainees to identify covert intelligence operatives with whom they may have been in contact with at Guantanamo…If terrorists at Guantanamo have learned the secret identity of agency operatives, the safety of the operatives and their families could be at risk.”

In the letter, Issa asks the Attorney General to provide information about reports that Patrick Fitzgerald has been asked to investigate the photos of CIA operatives, and if so, what resources within DOJ will be made available to Fitzgerald to conduct the inquiry. >>>

You can read the full letter -- with more outrageous details -- that Issa sent to Attorney General Eric Holder below:
