AP: LEO Says CIA Leak Was Connected To Black Prison Story

So DB had it right:

Justice Department officials declined to comment on the firing and whether the matter had been referred to federal prosecutors for possible criminal charges. One law enforcement official said there were dozens of leak investigations under way.

A second law enforcement official said the CIA officer had provided information that contributed to a Washington Post story last year saying there were secret U.S. prisons in Eastern Europe.

Both of those officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

Thanks to Confederate Yankee, who suggests that Porter Goss may be Cheneyesque in his ruthlessness at ferretting these bastards out of the agency.
