Some good news from the CIA

Dana Priest has her Pulitzer Prize, but her source, having flunked a polygraph, no longer has a job. One hopes that prosecution and a prison sentence will follow.

UPDATE: For those who don’t remember, the leak in question concerned CIA prisons in Poland and Romania where terrorists were being held. The leak and subsequent Washington Post story compromised both the security of the two countries cooperating with us and our relations with those countries. Close cooperation with the intelligence arms of our allies obviously is a key to success in the war on terrorism. Thus, the leak and Post story compromised our own national security too.
