US - CIA: Leaking about the leakers

If national security wasn't so important, this would be funny.

CIA director Porter Goss is redoubling efforts to prevent agents from divulging the spy agency's secrets to the media, and also plans to clamp down on former spies publishing books about their covert careers, Time magazine has reported.

Citing an anonymous former senior Central Intelligence Agency official, Time, in a report to hit newsstands this week, said on its website that CIA officials told employees during a meeting last week that leaking had gotten out of control and needed to stop.


So, who leaked this story about the leakers? Whoever it is can't hide behind the whistleblowers law on this one.

If the government is serious about cracking down on security leaks, and they should be, they need to start taking the media to court and find out their sources.
