Matt Cooper: CIA Prison Story 'a Good Leak'
Key Leakgate witness, Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper, said earlier this week that the recent Washington Post report that outed secret CIA-run terrorist prisons was based on "a good leak." | "Leaks that damage CIA agents fighting terrorists - good" |
Of course, that contrasts with the White House leak about Valerie Plame's job, which, according to most of the press, was the crime of the century.| "Leaks that damage CIA agents fighting Bush - bad" |
In quotes picked up by the Washington Times, however, Cooper told an audience at Princeton University that the "good leak" prison story was "clearly in the public interest." He lamented the fact that "we're seeing the call for another leak investigation" despite the public service performed by the CIA prison leaker.
