Langley lynching? Foggo v. McCarthy

Walldon just posted a piece extracting a WaPo story on CIA lies told to Congress, and Mary McCarthy, the CIA employee recently fired, ostensibly, for leaking information.

Also involving Mary McCarthy, I noticed a news analysis yesterday by Josh Marshall. Seems that Foggo, before being fired himself, was heavily involved in ferreting out CIA leaks, such as McCarthy is accused of.

Ironically, Foggo was fired for putting himself in situations that made him highly vulnerable to blackmail and extortion, and therefore to the truly damaging sort of leaks that are made not to the press and then to [shudder] the US public, but to unknown enemies of the nation. The recent search of his home is the end result of an "investigation [that] has been going on for some time", based in the office of the CIA Inspector General. Marshall says:

Now, in emails today, several readers noted the fact that at the time of her firing, McCarthy was working in the CIA's Inspector General's office, the same office that was then investigating Foggo and not more than a few weeks after McCarthy's firing would participating in raids on Foggo's home and office. [my italics]

Marshall admits to speculation, but notes that in the web of the Duke Cunnningham scandal, "At most every point there's been much more going on under the surface of the story than was known at the time. And that's continued to be the case over the last couple weeks. "

The issue is whether there is some version of a, quite serious, Mad Magazine, "Spy vs. Spy" cartoon going on here:

Clearly, over the last month you've had several things pop at the CIA that insiders call unprecedented in the Agency's history. And I don't think we can dismiss the possibility that they may interconnect in ways we don't yet understand. I'm not saying it as simple as that Foggo managed to whack the IG's office before they whacked him. Perhaps it is simply that the pressures that blew up over the last week had the place in such a tight vise that weird things were happening all over. Who knows.
At a minimum, if Foggo was the prime mover behind investigating and firing McCarthy and today he's barred from entering the CIA campus and the target of a corruption investigation, the whole McCarthy saga deserves a fresh look.

"Whacked": doesn't the appropriateness of this Mafia-speak tell us about everything we need to know? The CIA, like the entire federal government, needs serious help. It will not get it from one more Regime crony sent in to ensure absolute loyalty to the Dear Leader, Don Curly-one.
