ACLU "Outs" Undercover CIA Agents

The ACLU has “outed” CIA operatives by showing pictures of them at their homes to terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. As a former high ranking Bush official noted, “People should be very distressed that active agents were being followed around by people trying to disclose their identities.“

The ACLU has “outed” CIA operatives by showing pictures to the terrorists at Guantanamo Bay.

Attorney General Holder has aggressively and publicly aired his feelings against the CIA; yet, he has not uttered one word about those who took pictures of the CIA operatives (as well as their homes and families) and then unlawfully showed them to the terrorist detainees.

A former high ranking CIA official noted this outing of operatives is getting very little play in the media and no one in the administration is commenting.  All the former officials to whom NewMajority spoke expressed agreement with this official when he angrily noted that “the media who were absolutely up in arms over Valerie Plame Wilson being outed — as they should have been — seem pretty silent over someone surreptitiously taking photos of undercover officers at their homes and handing the photos to terrorists.”

What people have to remember is that there has never been a moment since its creation when the CIA was not there to defend America.  Now, employees see that they are being put at risk by fellow Americans.  As a former high ranking Bush official noted, “I am angered.  People should be very distressed that active agents were being followed around by people trying to disclose their identities.  It’s incredible. “
