I don't have a problem with the CIA sacking somebody who actually leaked secrets. If only the Agency was so dilligent about wrong-doers in other areas. As the WP's editorial page notes:
[Director Goss] has taken no disciplinary action against CIA personnel identified by his inspector general as having played a part in the failure to prevent the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He has taken no action against CIA interrogators known to have participated in the torture and killing of foreign detainees, or against those who knowingly violated the Geneva Conventions in Iraq.
Sometimes what's most telling isn't what you do, it's what you don't do.
