Accidental outing of CIA official could end a covert career - Victor Ragsdale 4th Period

Accidental outing of CIA official could end a covert career 


      In a report sent out to 6,000 journalists of a list of servicemen stationed in Afghanistan to be briefed by President Obama for a surprise briefing, there was a name of a CIA agent that was not be listed. They are currently investigating how such events could have occurred. 

      I don't understand how this could have happened. An agency that is supposed to be so covert and protected manages to leak the identity of an agent on a current mission. Now he and his family are threatened. This is does not look good as far as attaining future CIA agents.

  1. I heard about this on the news this morning and it seems a little weird. I hope that the journalists have some sense and don't release the list they received so everyone stays safe.
