The
White House accidentally revealed the identity of the top CIA officer
in Afghanistan on Sunday, the Washington
Post
revealed.
The
error was made when the name of the "Chief of Station" in
Kabul was included on a list, sent to the media, of U.S. officials
present at Obama's visit to Afghanistan. Once the White House
realized its error, it sent a subsequent revised list with the CIA
official's name redacted, the Post
reports.
The
Post
withheld the name of the CIA official at the request of the White
House.
Sunday's
error attracted commentary on Twitter
