White House Makes Big Mistake Involving Secret Identity of CIA Chief in Afghanistan

Shared from Zite

 After the White House caught the error, which named the individual as the "Chief of Station" — a label given to the CIA's top spy in any given country — the agent was removed from the email and a revised list was distributed, the Washington Post reported.

But before making the change, the official's identity was sent to more than 6,000 recipients, including reporters for TheBlaze. The Obama administration has asked media outlets to withhold the name to help ensure the agent's safety as well as the well-being of his family.

Senators now have two days to read and digest it before a Wednesday vote. Sen.
