Dismissed CIA employee Mary McCarthy's lawyer says she categorically denies leaking classified intelligence to the media, and that she was not the source for a Washington Post report on secret prisons in Europe. The CIA has been careful not to identify McCarthy by name, but she's clearly the official in question.

And the CIA affirms its earlier statements that an official was fired for having "acknowledged willingly sharing classified information, including operational information."

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.
