Description
The White House blew the cover of the top CIA agent in Afghanistan on Sunday, when the persons name was included on a list given to reporters during a visit to the country by President Barack Obama. The name was then emailed by the White House press office to a distribution list of more than 6,000 recipients, mostly members of the US media.
