The Obama administration has blown the cover of its own top CIA official in Afghanistan. The official’s name was included on a list emailed to reporters that was later included in a press pool report circulated to more than 6,000 people. The White House scrambled to issue a list without the official’s name, and news outlets have agreed to withhold it over security fears. The apparent gaffe comes as the administration faces pressure over its failure to release other secret information, including a Senate report on the CIA’s torture program. McClatchy has obtained a letter from two top Senate committee chairs who wrote to Obama in January seeking help in declassifying information about the torture program. Senators Dianne Feinstein and Carl Levin blamed the CIA’s secrecy for stalling the prosecution of 9/11 suspects and interfering with efforts to “publicly shine a light on the misguided CIA program.” The CIA has indicated it could take months to review the report.
