#2 Asif W. Rahman, who worked overseas for the agency and held a top secret security clearance, was arrested by the FBI in Cambodia on Tuesday over the leaks, the New York Times reported.

Forced play was it? Nasty old Cambode's.

#6 An intelligence operative arrested in non-extradition Cambodia? George Clooney better pick someplace else to hide from his Diddy habits.

#8 @#6 "... in non-extradition Cambodia?"

I've seen a few people fall (ungracefully) across the Thai/Cambo border.

#9 Why did a CIA official in Cambodia have access to these plans!?!?!?

#10 /\ Perhaps he was given the plans and told precisely what to do with them. If a foreign intelligence service stumbled over the scheme, they would have been obliged to notifiy the US Embassy.

At that point the Cambodian cover for action would have been blown.

#11 ^ Knowing Israel and Iran would just continue tit-for-tat attacks against each other, and the possibility for this to then spiral into a much greater conflict; maybe this guy was sold out, by given him the plans, knowing there was a very high probability he would leak them?

#12 Just hang her from a meathook in the CIA HQ lobby. Let them walk past her everyday as they go to work so they know what the price of treason is. She'll probably last a day or two, they can live with screams and whining.

Time for an example to be set.
