White House mistakenly leaks name of top spy in Afghanistan

The White House mistakenly leaked the name of one of their top spies to nearly 6,000 journalists on Sunday.

The CIA officer's name was included on a press tip sheet that was given to the White House's pool reporter, who then forwarded the list to the entire press pool—about 6,000 email addresses.

A revised list with the spy's name removed was quickly distributed to the press pool, and White House officials asked the media outlets not to publish the officer's name for fear of harm to the officer and his family. It is unclear whether the officer will remain in Afghanistan.

Yeah, that's bad but is it as bad as Rumsfeld, at a live press conference, giving the name of the soldier who reported torture going on in the prison in Iraq?

Sounds like someone did a "Geraldo"

(Remember "embedded reporters"? Geraldo drew a map telling everyone where the troops were. No more traveling with troops for you Geraldo!)

Speculation around the internet that I've seen is that the White House 'outed' the guy as part of the deal to get back Bowe Bergdahl.

:shrug Who knows if that's true or not, but it would fit.

This whole situation with this guy was just not handled right, if it should have been handled at all.
