Mary McCarthy, the new Dreyfus.

[edhopper]

A recap of the Dreyfus Affair;
"Alfred Dreyfus, an obscure captain in the French army, came from a Jewish family that had left its native Alsace for Paris when Germany annexed that province in 1871. In 1894 papers discovered in a wastebasket in the office of a German military attaché made it appear that a French military officer was providing secret information to the German government. Dreyfus came under suspicion, probably because he was a Jew and also because he had access to the type of information that had been supplied to the German agent. The army authorities declared that Dreyfus’ handwriting was similar to that on the papers. Despite his protestations of innocence he was found guilty of treason in a secret military court-martial, during which he was denied the right to examine the evidence against him. The army stripped him of his rank in a humiliating ceremony and shipped him off to Devil’s Island, a penal colony located off the coast of South America. The political right, whose strength was steadily increasing, cited Dreyfus’ alleged espionage as further evidence of the failures of the Republic. Édouard Drumont’s right-wing newspaper La Libre Parole intensified its attacks on the Jews, portraying this incident as further evidence of Jewish treachery."

So Porter Goss and his Goon Squad find someone in the CIA who's a dirty Dem and even donated to Kerry. She's obviously guilty, send her to Devil's Island.
Unfortunately they will never be held accountable.

2. J'Accuse

J'accuse the CIA!

(Historical note: In response to what the French Government did to Dreyfuss, Emile Zola wrote an article in which he accused the French Government of abusing the rights of Dreyfuss. The headline of the article was "J'Accuse!" -- "I accuse!)

3. Maybe Sy Hersh

is our Zola. The only difference is that the French public reveres it's intellectuals and Americans are anti-intellectual morons.

4. This my backfire on Goss and Admin.

This my backfire on the cabal, Ms. McCarthy has retained an attorney and plans to fight her dismissal. These types of things have a way of causing problems when put under scrutiny, and if the CIA pushes this case forward hopefully it will explode in there faces.

As most now know Ms. McCarthy who was fired for speaking to reporters and passing classified information, it was all over the MSM outlets. But new news is that Ms. McCarthy did not leak classified information as the CIA has claimed and was only guilty of speaking to a reporter.

Leaking classified information is serious, but speaking to a reporter is only against the rules at CIA. So if the CIA pursues this it may open a can of worms for the CIA and the admin and hurt the moral at CIA my understanding moral is not that high at the present time.

I think if true Ms. McCarthy has a case, and it's only going to hurt the people that are trying to make an example of Ms. McCarthy.
