White House mistakenly identifies CIA chief in Afghanistan

[W.G.Ewald]

The CIA's top officer in Kabul was exposed Saturday by the White House when his name was inadvertently included on a list provided to news organizations of senior U.S. officials participating in President Obama's surprise visit with U.S. troops.

The White House recognized the mistake and quickly issued a revised list that did not include the individual, who had been identified on the initial release as the "Chief of Station" in Kabul, a designation used by the CIA for its highest-ranking spy in a country

Can Obama administration be any more hopeless?

He did say he wanted more transperancy in the government, guess he and his folks took it too seriously.

On a serious note, time for damage control.

He will be pulled out for sure? BTW did something of this sort not happen in Pakistan a few years back?

In India there's an old saying: "Jaisi praja waisa raja" - "As the people, so the king"

This saying perfectly fits in a democracy. Individuals can be intelligent but the collective behave moronic many times. That explains why India elected Congress and America elected Obama.

I love how people are implying this has something to do with Obama when the Bush administration did the same thing with Valerie Plame.
