A presidential commission examining U.S. intelligence failures related to weapons of mass destruction has fired an FBI agent for improperly supplying a classified CIA report to FBI headquarters, The Washington Times has learned.

The incident was viewed by officials close to the commission as an attempt by the FBI to influence the work of the panel, formed in the aftermath of the Iraq war to look at intelligence related to Iraq and other states involved in illicit weapons acquisition.

The commission's findings are due by March. Mr. Kropf said the full commission is scheduled to meet this week as part of its inquiry.

The meetings are closed because of the classified information discussed, according to a statement issued by the panel.

1. More credibility building by the Moonie Times.

They know the story is coming out anyway so they try to use it to make it look like they have credibility for unbiased reporting.

This paper works in lockstep with the BFEE.

2. I know but it was the only "real" article I could find

"real" is used liberally there.

3. Two questions...

#1) Since when does a president's appointed commission have the power and authority to fire anyone including FBI agents?

#2) It was my understanding that the big hullaballoo on intelligence failures was primarily due to the CIA and FBI not sharing information. So now they are upset because they are sharing information?

4. She was only fired from her work with the commission not the FBI

The woman admitted to removing the report and was dismissed with a recommendation from the commission that she also be fired from the FBI. However, FBI officials have protected the agent, and she has been reassigned to another post within the agency, the officials said.
The fact that no action was taken against the agent is an indication that her activities were approved by senior FBI officials, the sources said.

As for the other question-Apparently Yes
