There was a senior CIA analyst by the name of Fulton Armstrong who was attacked, using leaks to the press, which alleged that he was disloyal and somehow under the influence of the Cuban government.
Fulton Armstrong's name was mentioned April 11, 2005, during Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings over the nomination of John Bolton to be US ambassador to the UN. Several news stories appeared that raised the question of whether Senators Kerry and Lugar had thus "outted" Armstrong. At the time, however, Armstrong's name already appeared in various places on the web, including at the CIA's own website.
Currently it is unknown why John Bolton was apparently intent on "protecting" information that was already readily available to the public.
