'Bout Time: CIA Warns Ex-Agents About Talking to Media

2006-04-26

The Central Intelligence Agency has warned former employees not to have unapproved contacts with reporters, as part of a mounting campaign by the administration to crack down on officials who leak information on national security issues.

A former official said the CIA recently warned several retired employees who have consulting contracts with the agency that they could lose their pensions by talking to reporters without permission. He added that while the threats might be legally "hollow," they were having a chilling effect on former employees.

Yes indeed, "legally hollow" but it might take you 6-8 years of legal wrangling to regain your pension. Give it some thought will you?

#2 My exact thought when I read this.

I still think somebody needs to be made example of thou. Somebody needs to do the long walk for these Leaks of Classified info. And no getting fired or forced retirement is not the long walk that is a slap on the wrist at the worst.
