The name of the top CIA official in Afghanistan was mistakenly exposed by the White House on Sunday during President Obama’s surprise trip to the war-torn country.
The officer’s name (which is being redacted by the media to protect the individual’s safety) was accidentally included in a memo to the press listing senior U.S. officials involved in the commander-in-chief’s trip, according to the Washington Post.
The White House soon recognized it had made a mistake and issued another revised list without the official’s name.
It is unclear if the disclosure could result in the CIA pulling the officer out of Afghanistan.
