Mr. Obama’s trip was shrouded in the usual secrecy. But after he arrived in Afghanistan, White House officials broke with longstanding national security protocol by revealing to reporters the name of the top Central Intelligence Agency officer in Afghanistan.
The name was passed on to thousands of reporters in a written pool report sent by a reporter traveling with the president. The pool report listed 16 people who participated in a military and diplomatic briefing with Mr. Obama, including one name that was identified as “chief of station.”

Or maybe the bush administration outed Valerie plame in an attempt to remove her as station chief.maybe Valerie plame was complicit somehow in making up evidence of weapons of mass destruction to set bushes administration up for a wrong action. Then when she was outEd her story changed to make Cheney bush look bad.
My point is that the Obama administration perhaps just wanted to remove the station chief and so leaked the name "inadvertently"

just point out for us why this is mr obamas fault ?
In her case, she said, revealing her identity was “retribution for my husband…a warning shot.” Plame’s husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson, had questioned the evidence cited by the administration that Iraq was acquiring nuclear capability. What happened on Sunday, when the manifest of names was released to the press, was “just foolish,” Plame said. “The right is making a false equivalency that is misplaced.”
“It was colossally stupid,” Plame said at a panel organized by The Atlantic, “but it was a mistake.” It was not the White House that outed America’s top spy in Afghanistan, she said, but a military aide who included the CIA operative’s name in a list of people greeting President Obama in Kabul on Sunday. The president’s trip was undertaken with great secrecy, she said, and kept a surprise. “I’m sure everyone was breathless,” she added, noting that the White House had launched an investigation. “And they’ll find someone who’s really embarrassed at the end of it,” she predicted, “the crucial distinction being intent.”

Interesting. Why would he want to remove the station chief and where do you think he "removed" him to?

Perhaps for his Safety after the slip. I honestly don't know or care enough about this. What I do know is Dick Cheney is an American Traitor.
