CIA To Crack Down On Leakers

They're forming a squad of mostly retired agents to try to track down the sources of leaks. It won't be long before this effort is dubbed by Maureen Dowd as "the Neo-Plumbers."

There's her gag for this week's column and you don't even have to pay $49.95 for TimesSelect.

Citing an anonymous former senior Central Intelligence Agency official, Time, in a report to hit newsstands this week, said on its website that CIA officials told employees during a meeting last week that leaking had gotten out of control and needed to stop.
The reported added that a new clampdown on leakers had been launched, supported by a team of "mostly retired" agents contracted to scan the news media for possible leaks of classified material and to try to find the leakers responsible.

This news about the Agency's new seriousness about leaking brought to you... via a leak.

As Ron Burgundy said, "That's not a good start... but do go on."
