The CIA’s top officer in Kabul was exposed Saturday by the White House when his name was included on a list provided to news organizations of senior U.S. officials participating in President Obama’s surprise visit with U.S. troops.Remember the uproar for months in the media, Senate and House when Plame's name was leaked and she was just in an administrative position in D.C., The White House just exposed the name of the top undercover agent in Afgan, let's see how the media, Senate and House react to this!
The disclosure marked a rare instance in which a CIA officer working overseas had his cover — the secrecy meant to protect his actual identity — pierced by his own government. The only other recent case came under significantly different circumstances, when former CIA operative Valerie Plame was exposed as officials of the George W. Bush administration sought to discredit her husband, a former ambassador and fierce critic of the decision to invade Iraq.
White House bureau chief Scott Wilson. Wilson said he had copied the list from the e-mail provided by White House press officials. He sent his pool report to the press officials, who then distributed it to a list of more than 6,000 recipients. The CIA claims as a result the Agent and his family are in real danger.
In the last two years, the identities of at least three CIA station chiefs in Pakistan have been exposed by Obama Administration. In one case, a CIA officer became a target of death threats after his cover was blown, forcing the agency to rush him out of the country.
