CIA Hunts for Mole
The United States' top spy chief, retired Lieutenant General James Clapper, is asking for an internal investigation of the CIA. The uncovering of a clandestine CIA operation involving the installation of double agents inside the ranks of al-Qaeda by the mainstream media has left Lt. Gen. Clapper demanding answers about a possible mole within the ranks of America's supposedly top-secret spy agency.
Why now? People in the CIA have leaked all sorts of things to the newsies for years, especially when they wanted to embarrass the previous president.
Perhaps a more pertinent question is "Who benefited?".
The CIA has not formally acknowledged the existence of an investigation but a spokesperson for the agency says it is only expected given the latest news involving a double-agent in Yemen. The CIA has worked undercover with a spy that infiltrated al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, only for the media to report on the clandestine operation before it was disclosed that the US was instrumental in orchestrating the mission.

If the reportedly new investigation involving a CIA mole can be confirmed, it will mark at least the seventh criminal case launched by the Obama administration involving the leaking of classified documents -- something the president insisted on ending while running for office by offering protection for whistleblowers.
