More inaccurate headlining in the name of click bait. In the body of your article, you say that *military officials" provided the list, but in your headline you say “White House blows CIA Chief’s Cover”.

Are you guys really just done with the idea of accurate journalism on this web site?

This certainly should not have happened, but I’d be willing to bet that the identity of the CIA’s chief of station in Afghanistan did not come as a surprise to anyone, least of all to the Taliban. After all, the Karzai government must have known who he was, and we’re all well-aware of what a tight ship the Karzai government runs. I’m sure they can keep a secret.

I hope not the rest of the bloggers are out after fools gold.

apparently because military officials had provided the list to distribute to news organizations

Yes, clearly the WH blew the cover.
Seriously, TPM?

Where have I heard about this before, but with malice?
Oh that’s right, Cheney’s right hand man Scooter-boy did the same thing except their outing a CIA agent was a “get-even with some one” type of outing!
One act was criminal, one act wasn’t!

Well, you can be sure the party that outed Valerie Plame because her husband had information that challenged the mountain of lies in the runup to the Iraq War will be crowing about this endlessly.

You know what’s great about this Memorial Day trip to visit the troops in Afghanistan?

It’s going to be the last one.

Still digging up Bush. OK, but tell me, when does Afghanistan become Obama’s war?

The military provided the list, not able to achieve what is passes for intel, a very low bar indeed.

If anyone has been following Vice episodes this season, this is just the latest in a long string of misspent efforts by the MIC…

I am sure all the widows and fatherless children are whooping it up as we type.

Which means the military blew it by distributing the list. let’s get the demarcation point right, okay?

Besides, it’s not like they did it as revenge for pointing out that there were no WMDs in Iraq…
